I'm feelin' the powder coated gunmetal wheels, but black head-lights and wheels would be too much on a silver car if you'd ask me. But that's just my opinion.

thats why i wish the car were smoke or black

with tints, and cleared headlights as well as lightly smoked tails id think it would look pretty good, but dont want to paint my stockers and find out the hard way.

i guess its only a few months of them if i dont like it though.

looks good but I'd have to see it on a Maxima, I like the look of the OEM 18 but thought about powder coating
