i prefer this, although that orange could be sexy... or it could look horrid. but there is no reason wht you can just sand off the orange and go with the look above.

right now i am actually leaning towards black. it would flow well with the trim and the rest of the car.

i think a dark bronze would looks sick, but outta the choices you have up i would say matte black

not the best spshop. if someone could make a better one i would appreciate it. but i dont think it looks good. my interior is black with black cloth trim. with clear corners and side markers.

the gray and black would look ok, but i am worried taht its going to make the wheels look small. since nothing is popping.

nowerelsetoroam · 04-06-2010, 09:07 PM

that just sounds like a bad idea. maybe you could polish it with rubbing compound and wet sanding it. probably going to stick with a single color.
