> [@Z24Challenge](#): > > Photoshop of the car with a silver lip (also with blacked out headlights and such) That looks pretty cool. All the pictures you posted of the wheels you were trying to “look like” have the lip silver, I would strip and reshoot personally. My buddy has that almost exact same car, same color/wheels, with clear corners, not much else. I’d bet the bronzed look would probably go pretty well with the color of the car too. GL with whatever you decide. -T ---

black them out. It will be cheaper/easier to powder coat them like that as well. Otherwise go with the silver lip. It gives the impression that you have “wheels” and not spokes EDIT: Or get some chrome Cobra Rs and make your car HOTT ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/random/cavy.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/random/cavy.jpg) Fronts are 18x7 for some nice skinnys, and the rear are 19x12… for that domestic look. And those big Mickey Thompsons on the back will have no problem holding the car in place for those smokey FWD e-brake burnouts ---

strip them back down and keep em stock. save your pennies by not buying a ghey set of black outs for you lights, and buy the wheels you want. ---

blackouts are cheap. Get them used cheap… they are worth it if your trying to black out the car… you might want to get brighter headlights. When I blacked out the talon, I couldn’t see shit, even with the highbeams on all the time. ---

if the function you are trying to get out of a mod is a darker appearance on your headlights… the blackouts functionality is perfect. the blackouts on my Talon served 2 functions. 1 - Hid ugly haze on headlight 2 - Make a black car with yellow corners, all black in the front. Mission accomplished. :tup: ---
