Install them, take pictures, and then ask someone to photoshop the trim for you. That way you'll have a good idea before actually doing it.

That Z has the 4.2 liter bore and twin turbo. He says he's making 850 rwhp.

Good idea.

That Z is awesome, I have been following its progress for a little while. The new system is very clean.

Yeah that would be hot! If I could do the wheels and all my trim in black chrome it would be sweet! I wonder what it would cost to do the wheels, all the trim and door handles.

Are you talking about the new sound system? If so, I agree it is very nice.

No gold for me, not a fan of gold on any color but IP. Full black chrome would be my #1 choice but from what I know black chrome is $$$$.

Dam...how did you fit those 20x10's in the rear? Those must be 40mm offset. So did u have to roll your fenders? If so, did it eliminate the rubbing in the back?

Yes they are +40 offset and I did have to roll my fenders. With a 275/30 I have about 2-3mm between the tire and fender where it sits now and no rubbing, not even with 3 people in the back seat and luggage in the trunk.

I spoke to a local powder coating place and he said not to do the black chrome on them because it will look green next to my car. The only way it comes out like true black is if it's done over chrome.

The next option is to have them paint the face gloss black or some silver color.

Gloss black would look sick....especially with the polished lip.
