There has to be something else that works aside from black. I think bronze might have actually worked. Copper is not it.

I think both a respray and the black wheels would have to happen to force this to work, but you're on to something.

Someone photoshop some black wheels on that first pic of the copper lights!!!

I think copper won't work too well w/ that color though. Maybe if the car was black. But i do want to see if he tries Bronze

To light of a copper shade. It does look pinkish. Bronze may work. Wheels would help tie it in.

Brain storming. I had a though about spraying a few light coats of black chrome over the copper, but not sure what to try next.

What's funny it that pink and black would probably look better than the copper.

I want to paint the "mesh" in the lower part of the bumper too. Surprisingly, I haven't seen anyone do this yet. That that's going to wait until I get a good color scheme going.

I'm up for suggestions!!!

Also, someone shop some black wheels on this pic please!

yeap, looks like poo in my opinion.

BUT, I give you A LOT of credit for trying something NEW, even with all the haters on this site.

I think you should paint them blaze orange to match the amber turn sig and bumper corner lights

HA! Thanks for the cred man. Yeah, I knew I was risking being burned at the stake for this, but everyone has been pretty cool about it... even after how gross it ended up being.

Now I have to swap the ish back out for the shiny lights and grille. I can't drive around to long with my G looking like this.
