That's not well done, man... That's done well. the stripes and lower grill are just right. but what are those "bars" hanging off your lower grill?

Does window tinting and black wheels count? Windows tinted yesterday and black wheels about a week ago.

My car:


Blackout includes:
Front grills
headlight rings
side gills
mirror caps
beltline
door handles
gas cap
roof

All painted myself with a plasti-dip base then covered with satin black paint. Except for the front grills and beltline. Those are aftermarket products.

EDIT: Oh and the wheels are Konig Feathers in satin black.....

They are definitely painted OZ Superturismos. FYI, my Superturismos are the bane of my car-cleaning existence. Huge PIA with all the nooks and crannies.

Done a few updates to the car since. Blacked out some interior parts and had the car colour coded. Also got 205/45 tyres for a better ride.

A couple things...

For those of you who have the black headlight rings, what rout did you guys go to do this? did you guys just buy new ones or did you guys paint them? This question would go for the side scuttles as well.

Jayxx83- what Recaro seats do you have? they look pretty sweet!
