Tony Kanaan's black series
Don't know if anybody got a opportunity to watch supercars exposed this past monday but they drove in his blacked out black series that CEC east did that looked real killer.Was searching the web to find pics but couldn't find any pics on the car I figure you guys will probably be able to help.

Somebody should let him know they make black taillight film too! I like the black on black on black look, but if it were mine I would have the calipers painted metallic blue and have a blue pin strip laid down on the bead wall of the wheels. That's what I am having done to my ZR1 when it gets here. I've already photoshopped it and it looks bad a$$.

Man thats what I was looking for thanks guys I think that was the best episode of supercars exposed. He had a couple other nice cars but that one had me sold on putting all black wheels on my 430. jrcart don't let the cat out the bag I was thinking of painting my engine cover black and blue didn't think to do the brakes but you got me thinking now. Just wanted to get away from everybody putting red with the black.

I saw the show when it first aired and his comments about the car really validate it since he is a Pro driver. He does not have any engine mods because he basically said the car does not need it. If I remember correctly he made that comment while comparing the mods he had done on his Porsche...

Agree 100%. This is the first car I have owned that I don't feel the need to make any major modifications whatsoever. It's perfect right off the showroom floor.

Those are 19" HRE M40 wheels. Have the same on my BS but mine are brushed silver. Front 9.5" x 19 with 275's and 10.5" x 19 with 295's in the rear. With that off set on the wheels thats the biggest you can fit without rubbing. That's the first thing I changed on my car, didn't care to much for the stock wheels. Now it fills out the fenders as it should plus adds some needed traction as well. My car is at Evosport right now for some suspension work, ECU tuning and exhaust. As soon as I get it back I can post some pictures if that helps you.
