After months of putting it off, I finally painted my wheel arches. Buddy of mine owns a shop that does custom jobs for high end cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, etc). I was going on vacation and he suggested that I send him the arches, side skirts, front and rear lips. He'd paint it all properly and then ship it back to me. Paid around $75 to ship it (probably should have shipped it in 2 smaller boxes).

Was gone for a week (2 weekends) and the parts were waiting for me when I got back. They did a great job. Since I broke most of the clips taking the trim off, he even sent me new ones!

I need to take some good pics, but in the meantime - here it is:

 

gorgeous!

 

Looks great! Now you need your car lowered!

 

Smokin hot!

 

Now I'm convinced. I thought I didn't need to do this to my JB. I was wrong. It looks VERY hot.

BTW, black out those headlight rings and door handles, shave those badges, and you are well on your way!

 

oh thats sick! thats it, i got to do it.

 

I know ... I know ...

 

Definitely more subtle on JB than on other colors. But it makes a big difference.

Been going back and forth over that. I like the total eclipse look. Baby steps ....

 

Wow, looks great! I wish I had the money to do that to my DS...

 

Looks really good, definitely on my list.

 

Holy smokes, Batman, that's awesome.

 

that just got added to my list of must do at somepoint for my JB mod wish list.

 

Looks Sweet!

 

Awesome look! Just another thing to add to my list. <sigh>

 

I Like it so much but know I think you have to paint either the Aero Grill because you dont have nothing mate or without sheen.

 

That looks awesome! I will definately have to consider that!!

 

And here I was thinking that painted arches wouldn't have the same visual "Pop" on Black... what can I say, I'm an idiot

 

Lookin' Good!

 

looks great ... thinking of doing mine as well

 

Looks great!
Was the plastic sanded first?

 

Looks great, man!

 

sweeeettt

 

the arches looks nice. that wheel gap is kinda....

 

and the look niiiiiiccceeeeeee

 

Amazing how sharp the car looks when doing that. Especially in black.
