Do not touch the hood


Paint looks pretty cool though.

what do u think about respraying a lip to a rim with this? that would be a bit risky with the cost of rims....but if it works like that it could be a cheap way to renew the shine on an older set of wheels with a nice lip. If anyone tries it let me know

take your oem hood, strip the paint and just polish it. you'll get the same effect for cheap.

50 cent did this to his Lambo and it looked good from a distance but up close it looks like sh$t....IMO. I saw his car at a body shop here in SoCal I thought about doing my mirrors when I had all my chrome(thank god I woke up).

re dip them in chrome or paint the wheels....
Blahahaha or I have a set of Foose chrome wheels for sale. (get a mustang as I was flamed for having these on my g)...........

You might want to research it before you do it.

You might change cooling properties of the intercooler.
