Now you just need to paint the exhaust shrouds back to black. Also, is that paint on the tires or tire-shine?

It's tire shine.... I love the stripes u have on Ur fender.......(I might copy Ur idea ...and add little twist LOL)

Go for it. I get mixed opinions, but I like them. I used krylon satin black on my shrouds when I repainted them. Just FYI.

looks nice man.

I see your color scheme with the stickers/lugs/calipers.

But since your murdering it out basically, you should remove the stickers. Get black lugs and paint the calipers black. To give it a more clean look.

But also bit of contrast is nice here n there.


looks great

Hahaha I'm going for the "Blacked out with a hint of blue" look. All black looks sick but I at least want people to see me at night .... even if its just that blue sticker Hahahahahahah

Thanks for the compliment though

What kind of paint did you use for the finish? Im about halfway throught the process now with all rims primed... just cant decide what to get for the black finish... yours is sexy as hell.. I want!

i finally got H&R springs too on my 8,looks to sit the same height as yours

Do you think 19" rims would fit without rolling the fenders ?

I used the high temp engine enamel in gloss black


i used 3 coats of paint and 4 of clear

im no very savvy when it comes to rims and fitment but i would think they will be a bit large. you may need to roll the fenders.

sorry i cant be more helpful

Awesome thank you RX8SHNKVI for all the help. I'll post pics when its done.. If it comes out anything like yours did, I'll be pretty pleased!

you can also use duplicolor wheel paint, which works pretty well.

also there is the choice of professional paint job or getting them powder coated.

I chose engine enamel cus the temp on the wheels will NOT go as high as the temp on the engine.... In my eyes thats better temperature protection

thanks for the compliment alex! It was my first time painting rims but i took my time so it paid off

if i could have i would have gone with powder coating, like adam mentioned thats an option (the best option i would say)
