lol i did red calipers and black rims with the pin stripe, in red too but i like the stockers black!! thats my opinion but i have finallt got my car blacked out complety, i jusst gotta seal the driver headlight alil better cause it leakes some where but not bad and then im going to wet sand the tinted taillights and polish them to make them super smooth





look even did the bowties on the center caps for the rims black also


oh and as ghetto as it sounds, if your painting them black and u happen to just paint the tire also, just looks like you did a good job at using some tire shine or wet n black hahahaha

Thanks bro0o

Powdercoating them can honestly range from 50-120 a wheel.. Depends on where you're at and what shops you got around you.. I paid 100 a wheel.. Which was the cheapest around here.. And I still consider it worth it..

If you're gonna do that might as well do the lug nuts.. Could be over-doing it with all that yellow in there though.. Be careful of that..
