Summer!!

So ive got some ideas for my car this summer but wanted to get some advice and see what everyone thought. The first thing im doing is painting my stock CLS wheels black and refinishing my other set. Yes i have two sets lol. Second blacking out my headlights and the out side of the grill. Im working on springs and breaks. Also im wanting to paint my mufflers and Y pipe black, just to make them look a little better. Thats all i have for now but im sure ill think of some other ones. Any other ideas welcome.

Thanks

If you are painting the stock rims I think it would look nice if you just painted the spokes black and left the lip and inner rim silver. just my

Spend the money to powder coat the wheels instead of painting them. It's much more durable. If you're going to do it yourself, at least take them to a paint shop to be baked afterwards.

but they're just stocks.... not some aftermarket.. i wouldn't spend that much on stocks. i'd sell them and buy some 18's. after the price of powdercoating + selling u have a good 800 to work with.
