they ride nice. Actually alot better then expected.

I used the Duplicolor caliper kit. I got it for $4 at meijers

get the brush not the spray

Helghast

why?

re037

thank you for choosing a tasteful color rather than bright red or blue or even worse yellow.

1st. You dont need to take it off because you paint it with a brush. You dont have to worry about getting paint anywhere.

2nd. The rim is a 17x7 cant remember the size of the tire. I think it's 215/25

yeah my car is all pretty much white and black. I got a black roof and coming up is a black hood. Only my engine bay has blue in it.

What do you guys think, i'm thinking of painting my hood black and painting the flip ups partially to look kind of like the s15 when they are down.

I've seen someone photoshop it and it looks pretty badass. Ill see if i can post one up.

Something like that.

Before and after....

wheels look better, now you can sell them for more to get some decent offset ones IMO i think you should stick with either painting the whole light covers or not painting them at all.

Bryan

wheels def look alot better, I'd say stick with white headlight covers though
