Default Updated Pics (GT Body conversion and Painted Matte Black Stripes)

Alright, well three LONG weeks after the accident (which seemed like an eternity), I finally have her back....and here she is! I actually had the opportunity to fall in love with my car all over again today! Oh....and sterling grey was made for black stripes

Car looks amazing!
If you're lookig to somewhat do a "blackout" , you should plasdtidip your rims, possibly similar to the style of the cali special. The flat black would match very nicely!

Absolutely stunning! Very beautiful car you have there! AndI agree with a previous post, you should definately consider Plastidipping your wheels for a black out look.

NICE! Bro, really nice. I love how you had them painted.. you did it right! Looks so clean. I like the side stripe painted without the mustang lettering too.

Don't plasti-dip the rims, that would totally cheapen the car. It looks classy as is! Get real black wheels if you want a blackout theme.

Thanks guys! And as for wheels, honestly I've never cared for flat black on wheels....to me it looks too much like a spare wheel. Actually though, I've definitely thought about black chrome....I think that would look really stealthy and classy at the same time! My problem is I haven't seen too many mustangs with black chrome wheels. If you guys see any let me know.

I'm actually really considering these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AE...2812/?rtype=10

What do you guys think? And is there anyone on here with photoshop skills who might could splice the following picture of my car with the picture of that wheel in the link?

It really was a no-brainer because the guy charged me $450 for EVERYTHING (i.e. the lemans and rocker stripes + labor). I've paid around that much just to have vinyl stripes put on by a graphics shop. Of course these are a little more permanent, but I like that I won't be looking at replacing them every couple of years, and the paint job came with a lifetime warranty, so if they start peeling or something he'll re-paint for free. Not a bad deal.
