Brilliant Black 8 PICS!

Here's some pics I took today, no scenic locations or specific lighting due to the fact that I am quite amateur when it comes to photos. Pics taken from Canon Rebel XTI. Enjoy!

thanks man. I've tried to keep the contrast of light and drak even, and it seems to have worked out. Thanks!
And I've been thinking about painting the stockers for a while. I am not completely sure though. If the budget works out, I'll be going with some RPF1s sometime soon.

^ I am very satisfied with them. I love the look, they even out the front and rear difference in wheel gap as well. I was so suprised at the reduced body roll from a 1.2F and .8R drop.

I've been in and out with tint. I had 35% for about a year, then went to 18% and had it for about a year as well. I got pulled and took it off...

Monday I'm puttin a 40% Ceramic tint that blocks about 61% of the solar heat, so my car will be much much cooler.

I just wonder if black wheels would create too much black... the car is pretty dark as of right now and when and if I get new wheels i think black would kill the contrast. but i don't know...

I'm so torn, I've never been crazy about black rims. I think more of a SBC finish or a darker grey/gunmetal rim could complete the look. Hypersilver would be way to bright. I'm back and forth bewteen RP03s and RPF1s...
