drew, i think that color would look really good with window tint, especially with the black rims and it looks like you have the blacked out tail lights and black headlight housing.

Drew, what color are you wanting to paint your calipers? I have Red, Black and Silver if you need those. I have my Brembo's painted Red and they have not shown any problems through this winter. I painted the ones on my wife's car black, as she did not want them to be flashy on the baby wagon.

Hopefully my wheels will be powder coated next week!!!!

Looks good as always...No offense, but the lack of originality when it comes to painting wheels is getting...well...boring.

Guy 1 - "Ohai I painted my wheels black look!"
Guy 2 - "Ohai so did I! Look!"
Guy 3 - "Ohai me to!"

Guy 9 - "Ohai so did I...."

I think Drew's is pretty original. It's almost like a Matte Black paint.

Some type of accent, lip color, anything really could set you apart from all the other black wheeled 'balts

I wasn't questioning whether or not you like it. In fact, I like it as well. I was questioning when you said this:

Black, Matte Black, Flat Black, Jet Black, Gloss Black, and all forms of black in between can no longer be considered "original." Especially not in the 'balt scene

Brakes and pads and you'll have Cobalt AutoX videos up. =)
