why not? I feel like having gloss black grilles, gloss black diffuser, and gloss black mirror cap accents, then adding the wheels gloss black would work well.

Perfect. It was tight, but it went right into place. You could hear it slightly scraping some plastic. No modifications needed at all.

I always thought black wheels are very tastless. Just my opinion though. Youre car looks great as it is, dont mess with it. lol

Ok yeah i was planning to get the good stuff, i just wanted to make sure it wasnt the same thing that you had an issue with. haha I recently hit a deer so i wanted that new paint on the front protected.

Man, it's like almost there. While i was spraying it some globs of foam shot out and the instructions said they would dry and go away but they didn't. So I wanted to redo it and when i tried to take it off it was a nightmare. It breaks up as soon as you pick it so it takes forever to remove. I had to pick at it for hours, my fingertips are sore as hell.

really? The only issue I see with black wheels is that the wheel can easily get lost in the tire and it's not accentuated as well.

Maybe I'll do something more fun, like neon orange or something...

I just am not a silver wheel fan at all, but I do agree that they look clean as hell. But as much as I like this look it's just not me.

Yeah i just feel like its what every 16 year old does when they get handed down their moms car. lol im not saying it cant be done well, im just not a fan. I think your car is beautiful as is but at the end of the day, its your car and you should do what makes you happy. haha On the other hand, the orange idea reminds me of the GT3 RS in that scheme and its one of my all time favorite cars so im good with that.
