Ok, overcast skies and someone tell me how to shoot better photos...

 

[Toddasaurus]

Yeah! Looking strong.

That's what I mean.
That's the look.

definitely accomplished that imo. I have thought about dipping them black as well (vs. paying a body shop to paint) but wasn't sure how well they would come out with all the nook and cranny. Any advice?

Thanks! The plasti-dipping seems to have worked well and I got the result I was hoping for...It's a grippy rubber like surface once dry, so I'm wondering how it will pick up dirt....

Tips:

1. Make absolutely sure the wheel is spotless clean, which is difficult with the 20 spoke wheels
2. One light "tack" coat and 5-6 WET coats. You'll be surprised how close you should spray the wheel with the can and not get runs... Make sure you coat everything, including the tire with a 1-2 inch band.
3. Let each coat dry for 10-20 minutes - you will know when it's dry as it will clearly turn to a matte finish. When it goes on, it's glossy.
4. Spray the wheels so they are standing (like being on the car)
5. You will need 4 cans for 4 wheels
6. Oh yeah, apply tire shine to the tire sidewall - This way you don't need to tape the tire and the plasti-dip almost falls off after. Worked really good.
7. Wear a mask in a well ventilated area
8. Let it cure for 24 hours

Have fun!

I think those days are behind me... although I do agree it would look really good. I'm in Canada with lots of snow, so clearance is important. The car is a beast in winter.

 

[Slip_Angle]

Whaaat?

 

[tarhoosier]

Straight gray. Navy ship gray. Black grille. Black trim. Red calipers (still).

 

[BadTrainDriver]

I wish our "Sport" trim was black, instead of the black chrome...

 

[CoconutRob]

I like the black chrome nice cross between sport and luxury, but that black trim does look great.

 

[pulsar]

Agreed. Black trim looks nice. Some colors may look better and accent better than others. Would have been a cool option for the sport trim to have that choice.

 

[Andr3Stacks]

Anyone have a black car with blacked out trim? Working towards that right now but would love to see some pictures before I potentially regret my decision lol

No excuses!! Haha
I spent the last 6 years pushing snow around with my Genesis Coupe on Eibach Sportline springs (1.6" drop all around), only got stuck 2-3 times over 6 winters in Wpg. It wasn't fun, however, which is a huge reason why I moved up to G70 for AWD, bit more comfort, and more powaaa.
I told myself I wouldn't lower this one but ehh don't quote me
