Ronnie, Nyyyce! I've been wanting to paint my door handles for a year now. You have just made up my mind. Everything, else has been blacked out except my handles, headlight rings (going body color), and the frnt/rear Mini Emblems.
Did you paint or vinyl?

Is that backdrop in the US?
Those wheels look easy to clean just like I like'um. (keeping w/the thread)

Gas cap is painted, however. I like your smoked rears. I have been contemplating that as well, but I think dechroming is my personal preference.

was contemplating on which to get among the two...
on the left is Real Racing Model II 17x7.5 +45 weighing in @ 13.4lbs...and to the right is Sparco Viper R 16x7 +45 weighing in @ 11.2lbs
finally decided to get the 17s. i like that its kinda bluish so i expect it to match my EB/B MCS and not to mention, it's just 2.2lbs heavier than the Sparco Viper R
wanted to get Volk TE37's but its just way out of the budget for now
i'll be getting the rims and tires mounted on my MCS tomorrow.
excited? hell yeah!

-I powder coated the gas cap and exhaust tips.
-I have the same preference, eventually I won't have any chrome on my car.
-If you're a pretty good window tinter the rears are easy. I tinted them over the stove. Shouldn't be too exspensive though.

Thanks for the tip. You'll find all your vinyl needs met with Lyle. Good guy.

Backdrop is the Child Development Center at the University of Calgary in Canada.
The wheels are great to clean I can actually fit my hand between the spokes to clean the inside of the rim. . . .
Also my OEM pads squeeled like crazy with my s-lites but you can barely hear them with these wheels - less echo I guess (Hawk pads in a box waiting for nice weekend)
