The wheels look good in black, but… I probably would have left the fog covers silver. Although for some reason I do actually kind of like those black too. Idk, maybe it grows on you. Either way :tup: ---

Idk, maybe it grows on you. Either way :tup: it will go with the car more when its all done car is going to be a VERY dark gray, almost black wheels/covers and a few other small things will be the same black, so it will grow into it heh I was sitting there waiting for the wheels to dry and was staring at the chipped up covers, and just went for it lol ---

I really dislike the black wheels on a silver car, and the painted fogs make the car look really cheap (read:base model trim) But to each their own, looks like you did a good job atleast ---
