Black on Black on Black

Haven't posted any updated pics of the ride in a while. I shaved my door moldings, color matched the handles, painted my headlights (so much easier than I thought it would be thanks to the DIY) and had my wheels painted flat black face with a gloss black lip.






Thanks for looking.

That was quick. I thought about the door trim, but I think it takes away from the class that the car has. Never even thought about the mirror bases, they kind of blend in with the rest of the theme with the gloss/flat black.

I think it would look so much better with those mirror bases color matched. It definately not gloosy black or flat back, more like flat grey.

looks sick, love the wheels!, please paint your window trim gloss black or flat black (blackout tape) like i did, is not like it matches the lip of your rims since they're black. The mirror bases are easy to do yourself, i did mine at my house, and black out your tail lights GTR style

HAHA! nice work. Ive actually used electrical tape to see if I like the look of the black window trim, just not for me. I do plan on putting a light tent over the tails to take away some of the "pop" the stock ones have. Im not a fan of the GTR tails. I like to keep things simple.

Thanks. I wish I could drive around daily with my car as low as yours. Damn the roads in Houston.
