NBP on NBP or Just like it is?

Alright guys.... I'm on the fence with this one, it could go either way, so I will put this out there and see what is the general consensus among the TL members.

This will also allow me to incorpoate part of the Acurazine community in to my project, which is almost complete. Once the project is complete, photos will follow..... So let me hear from you

So... NBP on NBP? (will be custom PC to match the paint) only the center piece will be painted, bolts and lip will remain the same.

1. NBP on NBP?
2. Stay the same?

I THINK he means to powder coat his rims leaving a polished lip or something like that.

For those who dont get it... The term "black on black" means black car with black wheels or black interior, in this case is black wheels. Because our cars are NBP (Nighthawk Blue Perl) and not just black. I posted NBP on NBP, because the wheels will be powder coated in the same color of the car (NBP) so it will match.

And the only piece that will be painted is the center (since they are two piece wheels) the lip and bolt around the rim will be polish as they are today.

The stay the same option, is exactly that, refinish my wheels, but keep them silver just like they are in the picture. Hope that clears things up for those who didn't get it.

Let me hear your opinions, I will be taking them in next week for the refinish work, since I had a minor bend on two wheels

Thanks!

This should give you an idea... This another members picture, hope you don't mind, since I started to consider the idea after I saw it on your car. Thanks!

That's already done, and it will be clear diffusers, not a fan of the blacked out look. Headlights will be all clear. Pictures will follow after the car is complete and you will see all that I've done. Thanks for the suggestion.

not a big fan of black car black wheels, i think that look is way too played out now, i saw a black neon the other day with some black 16"s im tired of that look. Powder coat em gold, or do something crazy like anodizing your wheels red or something. Quick question why does your sig say 99 SSM? and the pics are a 02-03 NBP

I agree with you on the "played out" with blk on blk. I'm leaning on leaving it the same, might pic a diffrent tone of silver, Hyper or mechanic silver, something along those lines. My sig has information on my second car which you see at my website. Once this NBP is done, I will post detail pics.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I would say stay; the rims should be a different color than the car to make it stand out.

El pana/TL32,

How did you get the Comptech B-Pipe to fit your TL-P?

Do you have a TL-S/CL-S catalytic convertor?

Thanks.

I too have the CT b-pipe, on my TLP. I bought it used, and the previous buyer had the flange reversed that connects to the cat.
