New Photos & Painted Arches

I was bored, and kind of spur of the moment, took some new photos. I finally have some now with the painted arches. I still need to get the front aerokit bumper repainted, but that is expensive . Let me know what you think!

Looks realllllly goood! Once the front bumper is painted, it'll look so fantastic. You're lucky your car is dark that it's not sooo noticeable at the moment. Sexy wheels and I love your tail lights too!

<Homer voice over> Mmmmm, painted wheel arches... </Homer>

Hey skitelluride531, you should also smoke tint your side reflecters inside your wheel arches like your tail lights. I just had mine done and it makes a big difference (latest photos here). It would look even better on your JB ride.

Thanks! The tint is from www.mossmini.com . It is a pain in the *** to put on though...or atleast it was for me. There is a guy that you can send your taillights to that can spray tint on them (any tint "color" you want). I have heard good things about him. I can't remember the website though so hopefully someone else can help you out with that .

looks good dude!

you may want to add the decals to the rear aero bumper - i did after a while coz it was too black (if theres such a thing lol)

yea i know there stickers but it does break it up a little and give a bit more detail

looks sweet tho - b&w pics work everytime!
