hahaha no more white for me... i think thats enough white right now since theres the engine cover takes a huge portion of white and if i add more it'll jus be a bit tacky , IMO~

but imma spray the hks intake lol black chrome!

Pretty sure those are the tenzo dc6's with the red lip., the axis has thicker spokes. /wider..

Those 18"s? if so did you get the wider rim in the back?

Another $100 per tire to go from 225/40/18 to 225/45/18? Are you sure about that?

I agree. White/Black is a huge contrast, therefore if you are going to paint at all there should be a bit more white, especially with the area that you painted. Now if you did the reverse in your paint job with white in the middle, then maybe I'd think it would be fine by itself. Otherwise leave it all black.

What paint did you use?

what paint did you use to paint it? I am looking to do the same to my engine cover after seeing someone else post their engine cover. I need a close color to the WB.

im sure they have a color close to it. especially with the gloss it really brings up the color.[maybe because ive only used black and white...lol] :P
