Dude, we can leave the rings chrome and the bezel where teh turnsignal is we can do SOM. That would be pretty sweet too. I think you have my # so feel free to call and we'll get a time goin. BTW, nothing going on this sat night or all sunday.

Problem is finding the can of SOM paint in a big can. I have the black and personally, I think black lights would be better, JMHO.

Did a quick photoshop, I agree, it'll look great when lowered, especially with tinted windows

That's better. Looks awsome. I love the Cobalt with a 2-tone paint job.
Do you have any pics of the rear?

Very nice. I have been thinking of a two tone color for my rally yellow. Grats on the wheels and paint job. How would rally yellow w/ black look. hmm, I should ask someone to do a photoshop for me.
