I'm not sure about black rims, though....maybe gunmetal. Thanks for the props.

What's the best way to smoke the clear corners?

Use VHT nightshades. Buy it here. I'll post a pic of how it looks on clear corners and how dark you should make it.

Nice photochop, 2K3. Tint would look good, as well as the corners.

Very nice Blue! Man...I gotta get out to visit with ya' so you can get me headed in the right direction.
The tails / rear looks very clean. I'm telling ya', you need to add the plate frames I mentioned (or something similar) a while back. It's a low-end bolt-on but I think it they would add just a little more "tightness" to the visual your putting out there. If I can get a close-up pic of mine later today (car's dirty from sittin' at the airport though, I'm embarrased
) I'll send it your way for reference.
Re: the smoked clears, definately something you need to do. I've been toying with the idea as well and may still do the mod but since I'm "on the other side" and continuing down the "cruiser / touring" path (read: "I went back to a GLE for a reason.") I haven't decided for sure. They may look weak on my ride.
I'm envious brother, your attention to detail shows!

I'm guessing you have a clear bra on it?

Thanks, guys.
nissan5788: Like Prinz said, I have a clear bra but only on the leading edge of the hood. It has done a great job at protecting it.
Jaws: I'm hoping to get tint by June. I like your wheels....where did you get them? Size?
.45: I'll most likely smoke the clears soon....I've been looking for a plain black frame, but haven't found one yet. Yeah, we should get together, too.
Prinz: As always...thanks, man.

Very nice. I'm especially impressed with the blacked out chrome. However, I disagree with the smoked clear idea. Blacking some things out is great, but it can be overdone IMHO. I would go really light on the tint since everything else is so dark and monochromatic. Sounds like you're already headed that route. Great work!
BTW - Like the new sig.

The blacked out trim looks great. I was thinking about doing that to my car. Can I ask how long did it take you to do? Do you have any close up shots of what the trim looks like? I am worried about it fading in the sun or cracking with the extreme temps in Chicago.

digging the blacked out trim. I have a black max, and have always wondered what I could do to black out the trim. I have tinted windows, but it is a very light tint. I also think smoking out the corners would look sick as well.
good job my man
