Powdercoated Black

Got the SE-R rims coated and got smaller tires.
Let me know what you think. I really like them.

i cant even see the rims in the pic

Me too, exactly. I love black on black, it's basically what I rock too, but that's just not quite my taste.

What percentage are your window tints? They look really dark, so be careful if they're darker than 20%.

If you're tinting the tails and clearing out your headlights, you can get tints for the headlights too-to keep your murdered theme going.

According to the tint meter, they are 7%. So yes, they are pretty dark.

And I was looking for the vinyl tail light films, and just get the orange out of the headlights, because I'm still keeping the acura emblems chrome, and the reflective housings inside the headlights match the emblems.

I think you need better pix to make an honest judgement. How much did it cost to get them done?

It was 200 for the set. I know a guy with his own equipment.

And try to tilt your computer screen (no joke) to see it better. Im on a laptop and it looks like a giant black blob too until i adjust the screen.

Actually love the black on black, and kinda like the wheel design too. Would have never thought about putting those on a tl but actually doesn't look half bad.

HAHA nice

And Xiomaro, these wheels will clear the brembos, so I dont believe spacers are required.

cause the tl-s rims are few and far between, and when you do find them, they are way too expensive or worn to hell.

and Im leaving the lugs chrome because throughout the car, Im leaving small chrome accents. like the emblems and chrome inside the headlight housing.
