Exterior Finally done
So far I like the look of your sedan. Normally the wheels would be a big turn-off for me, but since they are NOT bling, bling chrome I think you pulled it off. Props bro. Oh, and the blacked out look is hot.
Looks sweet man! I actually really like what you've done w/ painting the chrome...did you paint the front grille too?...it looks like you did (all but the Mt. Fuji emblem). Never seen those rims before...very nice!
First off let me say thanks for all the nice words. At least it's not all in vain. The wheels are Boss Motorsports 318's in Black Chrome. I got Mcgard lugs in black chrome (only ones I could find), but I wish I could do something about the chrome center cap. I might try and tint it or something. Any ideas? If you have any other ?'s just PM me. Other mods are JWT popcharger, z-tube, 1/2" Motordyne Plenum spacer, and Gordon's 5AT Performance Series Grounding Kit. Now it's time to slow down a bit with the mod's, like I said, it's just been a month. I know, I know, there's so much more to do..... you guys are EVIL
Actually I already have a list of future mod's. Damn this website. Thanks again guys & gals.

How much did it cost you to paint the trim and handles?

It just got the springs on today, told it might "settle" a bit over the next week. Who knows. Anyway, hope you like it. Now on to all the engine mods.

I just changed the springs. Went with the Eibach Pro Kit. I asked around and didn't think I'd need to change anything else as the car is so new. Once the shocks/struts wear out, I'll go with the proper set up. As far as painting the chrome goes, It'll work with any color as it's just painted, however, I like the chrome on most other color sedans. It's just the black ones that it bugs me. Especially, with the fact that my rims are black chrome, it really contrasted and took away from the rims. Thanks for all the comments.
