My guess is he is going to paint the rims like he painted the JCW bumper, fender flairs, the headlight rings himself.

looks like i read it wrong i thought you were talking about Red Bull

Hey All
I am keeping the JCW wheels (for now ) and plan on painting them Gloss Black and maybe doing a razor thin red pin strip on the outter edge. Maybe some really subtle airbrush as well...I will play around with one after I get some base coat down.

If you read what you wrote you sound like a condescending a$shole. You would think someone with 10 posts might re-read what they wrote before replying to a thread.

And that's all I will say about that.

Shaping up nicely... I personally think you should paint the rims, as it is what YOU want to do. When did this become an 'I want peoples opinions' thing anyway?

Going to do some interior parts...some nice leather work from a friend in Texas who does really high end stuff. He did something for Leno, he is amazing. He did the interior in my Vette.

I have more picture posts...I love to read a thread and see pictures. I do it on all the forums I am a vendor on for Vettes and find it really helps people make decisions on if it works for them...I always look for photos when I am planning a mod.

Interior Mods will come next year....
