100 dollars for taillight tint isnt bad, however you can buy paint at TOG NOTTIES and do it yourself, as far as the wheels go get them powercoated black or gun metal gray that would look sick

Well the guy said he paint's them then bakes them.It's a 4 hour process? But the finished product looks wonderful.Still kinda has a hint of red.

Painting the tails is better than the film IMO. As for the powdercoating, do it already...don't limit your choices to just silver tho. GL

I just got my 124's powdercoated black and I love the way it looks. Not a bad way to go. I also saw a member on here that had his wheels shadow chromed. try doing a search for the pics of shadow chrome. Either way they both look sick! By the way, where in riverside? I work in Hemet

I got mine sprayed.... IMO it looks much better than film, AND film will eventually peel off over time.
