Well I painted my rims a satin black with gloss clearcoat. I need to do one more coat of clear on it to get the shine I want, and also need to put on the center caps, and //M badge thingies.

But I personally like it.

Lowering springs, M5 spring pads, euro trim, VHT tails and lip spoiler are next.

*Possibly* may attempt a black roof.

Still contemplateing on that though! :)

Sorry for the blurriness. Cheap camera.

Still need to mold the ducts into the bumper. Or create a lower lip to fill in the gap:

haha thanks his car has always been an inspiration to me.

That's all that matters. You're modding to please yourself ... others liking it is just an added bonus.

Thanks alot! If you do decide to paint your rims black, I would highly reccomend that you thoroughly sand them down. I used satin black on mine. They looked terrible before the clear coat. But after they look real mean.

I'll work on that when I get everything finished painting. But these were just to show how things were coming along.

Also what is yalls opinion on the calipers?

black calipers... i have never seen the point in showing off stock brakes.

Truth. I don't really want to go with black.

But I don't want to be a brembo wannabe with red calipers.

If you don't want to go with black the only other colors I would do would be a dark grey or silver.

Silver seems to be the best option. Thanks

Your car needs a drop in front...bad. I think the new color really brought that out. Other than that, nice.

Agreed. I'm trying to source some lowtec springs at the moment.

Just turn the date off

I have deep gold calipers which I think look amazing. IMO, they'd look nice on your color scheme.
