sweet ride!. wicked pics with the green reflections!

Love the car, but now you need to get the rims painted matte also. Have the door handles done also. IMO

bdardashti · 06-11-2010, 09:21 AM

Wow that looks really nice. But I think the silver/chrome parts kind of stick out. I would personally get the black kidney grills, blacked out exhaust tips, and as Scott mentioned matte rims. Maybe even get it lowered a bit?

Mr:X6 · 06-14-2010, 05:42 AM

Those rims look like matte painted after driving 5-10 minutes because of brakedust.

lol i bet!

Gotta Matte the rims... anything polished on a matte car looks very distracting. A good rim shop or paint shop can dull them for you.

nicee

Love it. How is it to maintain? Been thinking about it but haven't seen one in person.

Is this a factory option?

So how do I get it in the U.S.?

AgsWin · 06-17-2010, 02:13 AM

Is this a matte vinyl wrap or was it painted with a stage 1 paint?

AgsWin · 06-17-2010, 02:17 AM

Here is how great the car can look if everything is matte and the chrome is removed:

UK6 · 06-17-2010, 02:38 AM

Looks like a wrap, door handles aren't done, mine will be getting this when I get bored of polishing it

One word - TINT!

DO NOT MATTE THE RIMS! They look sweet!

Matte the door handles though.
