Well I gave up on waiting for good weather to post pics of my car so here we go. I installed my 3d carbon louvers, tinted my windows and painted my rims. Oh I also removed the mustang side stripes. They were grey and just didnt look right. This is the first time Ive tried to post pics so please bear with me. I hope you like.

Looks good! Some cheap easy fixes can make a heck of a big difference!

Ya. I wanted new rims but when I bought the car I didnt know about take offs. It needed new tires badly so I spent $650 on new tires. The very next day I learned about take offs.[:@] Boy was I pissed. Any way the wife says no new rims till these tires are wore out. Lol. I wanted a different look so I figured If I cant buy new rims Ill just paint the ones I have.

OIIIIO

It came out really nice! Good Job!

Painting those rims really bring them out. Otherwise, I don't perticularlly like them.

Car looks real good! What percent tint if you don't mind me asking? Should be my next thing to buy.

I really like those wheels. I have a set that I use for my drag radials, and I think I may try painting them like that next weekend so that they are closer in look to my black bullitts up front and more in keeping with the overall look to the car even at the track.

Very nice, they came out great.

what paint did you use for the rims i have the same ones and i would like to do that with the black paint. and what percent tint is that??

My front tint is 35%. That is the legal limit on the front in Missouri. The rear window is 15%. I didnt want any darker on the rear because I work night shift. Need to see while backing up LOL. As far as the wheels go I sanded them with 320 grit sand paper and used a scotchbrite pad in the tight corners whare I couldnt get with the sand paper. Then I used Duplicolor adhesive promoter before I began painting. The paint I used was Duplicolor wheel paint. It is suposed to be spacificly for wheels. I also used Duplicolr clear coat for wheels after aplying the black paint. I tryed to do it right. I spent about 13 hours sart to finish doing this by my self. I would have spent longer and added a few more coats of paint and clear caot but ran out of time. I had just enough time for the paint to safely set before I had to be back to work. The Duplicolr paint runs abou 6$ a can. Not the cheapest but I believe you get what you pay for. It took allmost 2 cans of black paint and 1 can of clear coat. I hope this helps you out. Good luck.
