Do not spray paint your wheels. You will go crazy trying to fix all the chips. Instead, have them powder coated. The coating is much stronger and will resist chipping. I have powder coated many mountain bikes with great results.

Nothing I do is rattle can, (though they can be used in a pinch if you have skill/proper prep/clear-coat etc..) I paint motorcycles + helmets/jet-ski's/boats/etc.. w/custom Airbrush guns/paint..Been doing it for 15+ yrs

I painted my c6 corvette w/Z06 wheels, not 1 chip...

Thanx! I actually was inspired by a lot of your modz, & plan on blk'ing out every badge/chrome piece on the car, then Power chip ecu, lowering, big 20" wheels like yours, only ALL BLK w/red pin-line circle around wheel.

Any advice on blacking out your chrome vent/slat pieces? ?In fact are you still selling carbon fiber grill?

Sweet dude. Looks clean and we all now how quick those things are.

Get those fugly orange side markers unwired and painted!

Liking the sound of your other mods, it's going to look evil. Maybe a light smoking of the front head lamp cluster would go well with it when it's all blacked out.

By the way, you can't be driving it hard if you've got a Starbucks sitting there. I'd scald myself in seconds if I ever put anything hot in the drinks holder. Sort it out bra!

Looks great! I would have personally left the chrome on the star, but still looks sexy.

You sure you want to go with 20's man? Those things are heavy, and more for show than go. Swap out the stockers for for some light alloy multi-piece 18's...the performance gains will be worth it.

+1 on forgetting the 20s, but I'd upgrade to 19s. Looks good and will give bigger contact patch than 18s without so much of the weight and slowing effect of 20" alloys.

Nice ride thericker
