Painted my stockies and grill

Got bored with all this crappy weather and extra time off over winter break so i decided to paint my grill black and my stock (winter) rims gunmetal. let me know what you guys think. sorry for the quality of the pics, crappy cell phone. oh yeah i installed 15mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the back.

Looks nice man. I think it'd look better with the wheel center caps in though.

Nicely done sir! I've been thinking about painting my A-Specs myself.

Now it's time for the A-Spec kit

umm im not for sure but they came on the car when i got it. i dont think they are 245's though. the 25mm spacers make them look really wide and super amazing from the back

Looks Good! Did you do 25mm spacers all the way around? Up for the better pics when your weather clears up.

I'm definitely going to paint the stockers when the A-Specs go on in the Spring. Looks great! Get some of the color-matched plugs for the license plate bracket holes.

Is OEM the only route for these? And if it is, where's the cheapest place to get them..though vendors, etc?


I like the grill and stockies! I need to do my grill soon and I've thought about painting mine gloss black since my tint is dark...photoshop anyone?

my grill is gloss black, might look weird because of the lighting.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

As far as I know you just get them from the dealer. Some dealers will just throw you a pair from their bucket (if you're in a state where front plates are required, they probably have a bucket full). aI plan to go in there and tell them that the sales girl promised me a set. Since she is no longer working there, it should work out.
