Ya'll said no to gold, but I did anyway... look.

Here are some pics of my car with gold rims. I asked awhile back for people to photochop or color my rims gold to see how it would look, now you call can see for yourself..... Let me know what you think...

Also, I'm getting OEM '02 headlights to get rid of some of that black theme...

PEACE

Before I saw the pictures, I was worried for you, but it actually looks pretty good. Not my style, but still looks good. At least it's different.

i like them on your white car. if you had a dark car, i think they would look ghetto.

anyway as i said before, they look great.

Thanks for the props fellas. I painted it with automotive paint, in a can, from this guy from hialeah. Each can costs $15. I put on like 3 coats and 4 coats of clear. I posted some pics of the process on page 6 at http://members.cardomain.com/tryboz .

It's a half-window spoiler. The rims do have a 1" polished lip and yes that cop around the corner comes in handy, he loves to have a "look-out" on the neighborhood. I asked people to photochop but one guy did it and the color wasn't was i was looking for. I wanted a gold, but not too gold. I told the guy and he can put any color in a spray can and automotive paint at that. The rims came out sweet, no orange peel, the only thing is I would of liked them to be a lil more golder. I was getting tired of the dark look and also tired of silver wheels, I get bored easily.

I am looking to sell these lights b/c my boy is getting me HID's from a wrecked one and also, I'm looking for H&R spacers for the back rims if anyone has them for sell. I need to bring them out big time.

Looks pretty good... even though I said "don't do it" initially.... probably cuz it looks much better than those Photoshops...
