Do white calipers with black AMG decals on it.

And.. these rims look better than those TSW Bremmas.

ah, no Yellow? lol, oh well. i thought about doing white, but my friend just discouraged me and said its gonna get filthy, has anyone ever done a white before?

and the rims, i really want a pair like that, but cant find something within resonable price, the ones that look like these are all going for like 5 grand a set. i want something thats like the Asanti af 144's. any ideas?


thanks again for teh PS

no i dont need a photoshop just yet, but i'm very curious as to these two things.

1st is- how do i get a white grill? does mine have to be painted or can u order one? easier just to have it painted my self?

2nd - would u nightshade the tail lights on a white car liek mine to be like this car? not sure how it would look.



i seen this one completly blackend out but damn is it ugly like that on a white car, needs some kinda seperation.



what ya think

easier to be painted white and smoked on white looks good if you leave the clear part showing. might look better with the smoke, black grill and black wheels( maybe white wheels with black calipers with white logo)
also smoke or clear the amber side marker in the front

yea i think that sounds right, but a black grill will just demolish the look, if i had black anywere else then sure, but i dont, other then the windows being dark as heck(5%). no if i plan on doing the tails, the lines MUST be clear. but i just guess i'm scared it would look tacky, i wanna give it the clean lean sporty look but dont wanna go too rice and such.

the side markers are clear as of last week and the badges FINALLY came off as of yesterday(except the amg badge)

updated picture

Well you can get it painted at a body shop. It cost about like $110 but if you DIY then its waaaayyyy cheaper. Just sand, primer, paint, gloss. When you get the sand paper make sure you get the fine one not the course so you can just take out the thin layer of paint.

body shop it is, cuz if i do it my self and teh paint dosent match, i would be pisssssed, and if they mess up the color matching, then its on them to do it again

what i really ment to ask was, do i have to take the chrome strips on teh edge off first or not?

i think i might have teh answer but i dont wanna be wrong. i'm guessing simple painters tape lol. and also, is tehir a way to get a exact match or can a good paint shop match colors on tehir own?

Looks like a hard job. Mine doesn't have chrome so it's going to be an easy DIY for me, but on my opinion i'd rather you take it to a body shop and be safe rather than f-in it up...
