I saw change the sidemarkers back to the regular clear so it matches your headlights. Paint the roof black. Get some hyper black gunmetal wheels w/ chrome lip.

Well clear corners won't match after I paint the headlights housing black.

Oh and thanks for that pic of the gunmetal rims. I think thats the direction I want to go. Just got to buy an extra set of OEMs. One set for summer and one for winter.

I used all Dupli-Color stuff I got from Autozone. I put about like three coats of the black sandable primer. Three coats of the semi-gloss black. And probably another three of the clear coat. And alot of light sanding in between. It took a while but i'd do it again in a heart beat

I don't have black tails but thanks. I not sure if I'm keeping the black sides. Really want to do color matched but I wanted to wait till I had more stuff to paint.
