i think this will be the final color for the stockies

had these done by a friend that works at a bodyshop, had it color matched with body color with extra flakes, thought i'd share. i love the outcome of it, its nice and sparkly under the sun and has a dark blue look to it, when in shade or at night just looks black. pics were taken with my bb so quality might sucks.







now im just saving up to do a tune up, reseal the headlights cause im getting horribleee condensation right now , then either spacers, wheels or lipkit depends on how finances goes lol

I like it since I had my PC stockie phase. Couple of things though:

1. Get some wheel spacers at least 10mm
2. Dremmel off the corrosion of the rear brake caliper and hub and paint that black ASAP
3. keep those tires armored up!! cant have a dark car with dark rims w/o wet tires
4. Invest in a digital camera

What lug nuts are you using? I thought you had to use the OEM lugs on the stock wheels?

You're right, you do have to use OEM lugnuts on OEM wheels.

Looks good...maybe a little too much flake but overall very different! Better than bright orange, green, etc. What are you lowered on? Thing is SLAMMED!


Also, I've heard/seen people use Duplicolor or whatever type paint for wheels and they came out pretty good. What's the big advantages of powdercoating over just buying a few can's of spray and going to town?? ...serious question

painting it with rattle cans can cause runs, and is susceptible to scratches.
