Default quick chop (hopefully)

This past week i got the rear end of my car blacked out and i was wondering how a black lip on my wheels would look.. if it would tie it all together. or if it would be too much

can somebody chop the lip on my wheels black like the rest of each wheel?? that would be HUGEEE

thanks

here are some pics.. i dont think they are great pics for the chop i want done =/ but i just want an idea

no. i was thinking like the whole lip as in all of the polished parts... dont even worry about it... but i have one more favor to ask if you dont mind


xeno, while i have this thread going, would you mind just lowering my car some?? dont SLAM it. just eye up another inch maybe?? use your judgment but dont slam it...

i ask bc i plan on taking out my isos and i want to see what another ~1" will do...

For some reason i am having a real tough time telling that it is lowered. It looks like it may have dropped a little bit, but its REALLY hard to tell!!!

honestly, thats probably the exact effect that i will get when i remove my isolators... its only like a ~.5" drop

thanks a lot xeno. i really appreciate it

no prob

and if you are comparing the pics as a before/after type thing, i resized the 'lowered' ones a little, so it might look a little different
