Well I started on good Friday and finished on Sunday, took my stock red side mirrors off and painted them ebony black, also did the same to the silver inserts on the stock wheels. Since the wheels were off went ahead and painted the calipers red. I like the whole red and back combo, thinking about getting the vinyl overlay on the roof to top it off.

Feedback would be great, spent many hours prepping each piece before paint.

What type of paint did you use for the wheels and calipers?

Now you need a black spoiler and your set! Good work.

Very nice!

Run into any troubles or issues while doing it? Did you use a clear coat on top?

Ha, I was thinking the same thing but I don't know how it will look. Have though about photo shopping one in just to get an idea. I having trouble finding one that i love enough to order.

Sometime soon I am going to get it tinted, sadly here in Virginia we can only go 50% in the front on tinting, I have no idea how thats going to look.

No real problems, just a pain to keep dust off the paint. The calipers were a bit time consuming since you had a tiny brush but it kept me from having to take them off so no complaints.

The mirrors required a lot of coats to get it right, put several coats of clear coat to get it to look stock.

I thought there was way to much red on the car, and i am too cheap to purchase new wheels now. Maybe when i have some more money and after buying the CAI.

We have a member who did his spoiler as flat black on a red car. Pictures are somewhere on the forum.

Found them.

I am not a fan of the flat black, but i still haven't decided if i am going the lip spoiler route and i think if i do, black would be a no go since it would disrupt the flow of the car and color scheme. Thanks for the find MFury.

how did you do the mirrors? ive been wanting to do them as well, along with my door handles.

 

[A790]

Not a fan of the rims myself, but the job looks well done. I'm glad you enjoy it
