yes they were done at a car paint shop....the caps were painted black so i took them back so he can paint them red..
he did 2 at a time so two of them the "A" is blacked out and then red on top so you cant see the "A" but the other 2 are just painted over with red so the "A" is a ghost in the back of the red looks nice ...
what do you guys think i should do with the caps?
i was thinking about getting the red "H" ones with a black backround but not sure yet...

Did you paint the grill emblem with the same red as the car/rims? It kinda looks like it, but can't really tell. Either way, the wheels look awesome. When I first saw them, I wasn't sure about the black, but now seeing them on the car from a distance, it's a nice subtle touch that I really like.

I don't think I would make it out of my driveway with that tint without getting pulled over. I have gotten away with 20% until time to get it inspected but that looks like 5% there. The rims look allot better than i would have thought them painted would look

the grill is black and the emblem is black also...when i did it i noticed the emblem wasnt noticable anymore so i put a bright orange behind the emblem...when i get a chance ill put a pic up of it
