    Default 50 Days later (before & after pics)

    I still have some work to do on the paint.... but here's the before and afters.

    Before:



    After tinting, wheels, and bra (and E.A.T. chip for those with x-ray vision ):



    and 1 more:



    wheel gap is bummin' me out a bit, but overall I like the look. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to black out the kidneys and the chrome window trim. I have the parts right here next to me, I'm just not sure how much it would add.

    Looks nice. I'd keep the chrome kidneys and window trim as they go nicely with the chrome wheels.

    yeah, they are. I've never been a big fan of chrome wheels actually... but once I got them on, in person they look slick.

    I would leave a little chrome on there in agreement with TC to go with the rims. Looks like a big improvement!

    I may do some photoshop work just to get an impression of it... but it's not as blingy as I thought it might be.

    I do like the blackout look...
