Okay some work has been done..
I tinted the windows all the way around, took the dents out of the old monoblocks, but couldn't keep them chrome.. What do you think?

Considering the black grille, rear wing, and painted black top.. suggestions and tips?

Glossy finish powdercoat
fronts: 255/40/18 rear: 275/35/18

Looks good!
Black wheels on your white car looks great.
Are the end of the lug bolts black also?
That would be more for those looking as you go by them.
White or chrome bolts would look good standing still, but will make a different color circle in your black wheels as they spin.
I'm in the southbay, and I hope we see each other on the road sometime.
Take care

I say no on the reverse Shamu look. A lot of black other than trim on a white car looks tacky to me.

And she's a she everyone. Looks like tie-dye pants and a bikini top.

If you're gonna do the black on white, then make sure you do something with the orange side markers. I would go white to blend into the body rather than tint them black. Personally I don't think you should paint the roof. Hopefully Ill see you while riding around on 101.
