Something for all of ya to look forward to! (Kinda)
Just wanted to let you guys know I went and got myself some Dupli-Color Cherry Red and Semi Gloss Black as well as Adehsion promoter for them and that I will be painting the Steering wheel spokes Red along with most of the Chrome in the car including the AC Vent's and the inside part will be painted Black. I think I am going to paint the inside handles as well but I am not sure how I would rmove them for paint.. and also if I would do them in Black or Red... but anyway just something for you guys to look forward to seeing if you were interested. The plan is to basically just wash the stuff really well in Palmolive Dish Soap make sure all the soap is off and there dry and then i am gonna go for it I have faith it will come out well I will only be doing 1 of the AC things tonight just to make sure it does come out nice before I go destroying my interior Ill post pics for opinions before I do the rest also but anyway wish me luck. Any tips or hint would be awesome too and pics if you have done it before would be the best.

Hmm that sounds really cool but when you think about it the contrast would not be there so much seeing as it will be on the white car..... but who knows.. see if someone can Photoshop that for you shouldn't be too hard. I was thinking of painting my GT Emblems full on black but I heard they are a HUGE pain to get back on properly...

I think the all black emblems would look good on your car if you go with the red/black look on the whole car including some nice black rims!!

Actually I already have had MRR GT-1's on order I should have them on by sometimes in the next 3 weeks. Its gonna be awesome. As for scuffing the vents I probably will vey lightly but the paint adhesion promoter stuff looks like it will do it's job. The hard part will be masking off the actual slats for when i paint the chrome part and then vice versa but I think I can fit some Flashcards snugly in between the chrome and the slats that will make it alot easier if it works. But I will let you all know I have a good feeling about this though =). I think the steering wheel spokes will look freaking HOT =).

They're just kind of a waste of money, could put that money towards something else.
