Always wanted to get em painted but the response to my previous pics with rusted rotors and brakes was just the kick in the pants I needed I highly recommend the painting mod to everyone! It is extremely cheap, $16.99 for the kit at schucks auto, and takes about 1 1/2hrs per wheel, but I work slow. I think it dramatically changes the overall look of the car. 4 mods remaining: 1) Smoked taillights, 2) Black 545 badge, 3) Smoked side markers 4) Black grills

Black Magic with a touch of RED! Nice touch.

But if you smoke your lenses too you're going to need to send up flares at night or you'll be invisible.
