ALL HAIL AM QUEEN..... I am defenitly going to bite this look.... 
I'm SOO happy I picked AM!.... I was going to try something but I haven't seen anyone do this, has anyone blacked out their roof? I am planning on doing this, but I also have a sarona roof spoiler, I think I am going to paint it black awell, to match the flow of the roof from windshield to windshield, instead of having the spoiler AM colored. Any advice? has anyone done this before?

You got a good point and I was thinking about that earlier, BUT I REAALLY want to paint my roof black, and I've seen this one guy around here who has WDP and a blacked out roof with a WDP sarona wing.... its look kinda weird like you sed having a white strip would look awqwerd (can't spell that word).... I don't think it would be that bad from the side having it black. I've seen alot of cars with different color sceems... they tend to pull it off.... so I give it a try.... if it looks too weird, I'll just spend the extra 300 to turn the roof back to normal and get the sarona to AM....

Your saying that having it black would make it blend in to much with the roof and the rear window? I disagree.... I've seen NBP TL's with roof spoilers.... they're pretty noticable to me....

lol all those belong to ib18c1
He has actually had 2 AMs, an 05 and an 06, and both have gone through many many phases. I can't count how many sets of wheels hes had, let alone exhaust setups, etc, etc. His cars have probably gone through like 50 different stages.
Anyways good luck with your car man, but I don't think anyone will surpass ib18c1 in terms of being the AM king, at least not anytime soon

You better be rocking a Versus front bumper with a nice drop and very nice wheels to go with it..
his stance/wheel set up is amazing.. Just look at the the stages he's gone through to get to where he's at now.. not much trial and error, frmo what i can see.. GL tho.

I was so sad when I saw you decided to part out man I had high hopes for your AM it was coming along amazing and was going to be one of the best for sure.Damn I forgot about nokia, he is an OG AM and that shot from the ground of his car bagged on Meisters is one of my fav shots of all time.

wouldn't it be funny if acurazine actually acknowledged a KING OF AM, WDP, NBP, etc... and did something to their profile that would let every one know their the king.... like if they steped into a forum or thread a few trumpets or something would sound off, lol.... that would be ridiculous.....

I picked up some type s rims, tails and sidemarkers and base aspec and hopefully I drop it on coils and some other small cosmetic mods like colormatching my grill like I had before and 08 mirrors, etc. So im still around..

Well, sparkles or not, the Silver with the Black down the middle is "shit hot" (as the fighter pilots say).

It took me awhile to chime in but you guys knew I would. Thanks for the props salu!!
Without a doubt, hands down Tim's car is possibly the #1 King of the AM world. His car was always an inspiration to me as most everyone else's inspiration as well. I actually stole a few of his ideas
hehe. I told him I would.
But over here in NY? I must say with say in my humble opinion....
I am king
ahem....note self; ego check.
