Suggestion, small one, paint the bowtie on the center caps of the wheels red. The outline, not the middle. I think that would look really nice. Also consider the SLP grill.
Edit for additional suggestion... Ruby Red LED tail lights!
yea im kind of thinking if i should or not on the banner, i think i'll try it, its always removable anyway
and great suggestion! thats exactly what im goin to do
as far as the grill and tail lights go, i wont be getting them anytime soon
i need a job first haha

i primered them
and oh well if they start peeling, i can always re-do them

i liked the gun metal until i saw them on the car, IMHO just doesn't look right on a white car, looks goood tho keep up the good work

adhesion promoter = primer
thanks for ur opinion

i just used a wire brush on them, washed them down good, oh and a little sanding
guess i shouldve snapped a pic of that haha :p

I have seen this used on wheels before, and with a shot of clear coat over the top they come out looking fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to document everything and share it on the forum.
ur welcome!
yea im glad some of u like it, and i agree, everyone has diff. taste
thanks for the link, i just wanted to try something diff and i like it

It looks really good. I actually like what you did with the wheels. They mesh well with the car.

To me it makes your rims look like they are steelies now. But that's just my opinion, maybe it looks better in person and my monitor doesn't show it well??

MaMonte has a blue similar to the one posted. When they are clean they are super sharp.

Looks good I like the wheels too and the red looks great on the calipers. Cant wait to do mine. May be a while tho with my wife and I both working different shifts.
Also a Tip for anyone masking of brake lines or anything else odd shaped, aluminum foil works great. just make sure it's overlapped well.
