Add 1 more to the murder count.
I said I would post pics when I got something done. Here it is.
Satin black kidneys
sapphire black side grills
painted tail lights (red part only)
painted factory wheels
RPI scoops
BMC Air filters
AC Schnitzer springs
The wheels were painted in a multi step process. Wheels look different colors in different lighting. Under flourescents it looks goldish/bronze, during the day it looks dark pewter, when dark it is an anthracite.
Now I have to do the tint but I don't think it will be too dark. Anyone have the new Infrared Tint or Ceramic tint that cuts out most of the heat from getting into the car? I heard even the light tint keeps the car very cool compared to the dark conventional tints.

Impressive. Can you tell us more about your painted tail lights. How was it done?

Nicely done! I haven't seen this color on the rims before, it looks unique. I'd suggest to match the rims with CF side grills & CF badges. Keep the pictures coming.
