Hey guy's (and girls)
I've had my 172's refinished over the winter and just fitted them this weekend, just thought I'd add a few pictures.
I know the black look isn't to everyone's liking but I think it works refinished my 172's-img_0060-copy.jpg

I am not generally a fan of blacked out 172s but they don't look bad given your ride's color.

Goes well with vehicle color, black trim pieces and window tint.

How refinished? Paint, powder, what color?

Planning on blacking out the 166s? Gloss black or matte black?
