well, i can't GUARANTEE it'll be fun...but oh well. sucka. :curse:

i was thinking of powdercoating my rims black the other day, since the 4 pots are DUST factories, and there's no way to clean the rims easily without damaging the finish on the calipers (even mild wheel cleaner doesn't agree with them)...anyways, i started with black, and then kept going in photoshop...so wihout any further adieu, here's stock:

gunmetal...

black...

bronze...didn't think this or gold would look good, but i stand corrected...

and last but not least, gold...

nah, i'm not a big fan of white rims, unless they're DTM style rims. besides, it would look silly on my car (IMO)...and i'm trying to make things LESS of a headache to keep clean. gold is a tad too flashy...on a WR blue, BRP, or black car, it's a different story...i just threw it up there because i was having too much photoshop fun, and it didn't look as gross as i originally thought.

gunmetal is pretty much what the fronts look like now, since i haven't cleaned them in weeks. :lol:

so now i'm debating between black, bronze, and gunmetal. i've decided to keep my project 'sans bodywork' to maintain the sleeper factor, so this is the only major appearance mod i'm making. and now that it's all hunkered down with it's new suspension, the L bodywork doesn't look so bad anymore. the front end doesn't have that "happy" look now that the bottom of the bumper isn't sitting a foot off the ground.
