Looks good except those center caps... any reason why you didn't spray them??
Hmmm, what did this cost you? Could you have chosen a different finish? I want a matte look but I'm happy with my Aspecs right now.
Provide more info!! I know those are 18s but the since your tires are dressed too, they seem to look a little smaller (really dark!).

Cost me $450 but that includes tax and a 9% environmental waste disposal fee. I could have gotten it done for cheaper ($60 a wheel plus tax and waste fee) but i wanted to go with a big name shop to ensure the highest quality.
Yes, the guy at the shop said he could get over 10 different shades of black, from matte to high gloss. I went with the regular gloss black.

It is dropped on the a spec suspension, but it seems to only be about a 3/4" drop. I want to just replace the a spec springs with some tein s techs but I am worried about warranty issues and ride quality. Let me know what you think

looks good, even though im not a fan of black wheels. keep the caps that way unless you go with gunmetal or black lugs. it matches the way you have it now. how do you like the Invos? hows the road noise? they are supposed to be a very quiet tire.

Need to paint the center cap to match. When i had black powder coated rims, they looked much better after the caps where the same. Also consider black lugs, and putting some gloss black touch up paint on the counter weights.

Hawker, leave the center caps alone !!! I think they look great and I feel like they accent the front insignia. So I'm with Cali4-ride on it and enjoy. You might consider darkening your front headlights. I went with 1/2 tints from BlueBatmobile.net (6/10 tint) and it would REALLY look awesome on your car. Then you wouldn't have as much of the orange turn signals-which there is no more of on the car.

I'd like to lose the front plate but you have to have one in va. I'd tint the windshield but I've already been pulled over 3 times for just having 20% all around. And tein s techs next month
