Both look good but I'd rather polish them then paint them. Actually I would get them chromed.

If you want to paint them... DONT! PowderCoat FTW! Paint will just chip off after time! But as far as those rims go... I think they are 2 small!

01GTType thanks for the chops again. Could I ask you to do it one more time? The stripe is going from the 1st rise in the hood. The lines that follow the pony grill. Here's another pic. Tint, wheels, hood.


This is my buddies car. He acctually told me to do it to my car while it was in paint but I didn't think it would turn out. Now I seen his car and know it looks good.
