I don't know, there's something about the black side mirrors that does it for me. I bet it would still look pretty sweet with the top off.. How about one with black wheels?

EDIT: Great minds Z!

Wow, pete, great minds think alike.

By itself it doesn't work. Neat idea, but you need it to compliment the whole look not compete with it.

I would like to change my vote...I originally voted to keep it all one color, after looking at the black mirrors that is good looking and unique...

DJ, come on. Black rims pls.

Yeah DJ - come on with it already. Jeez. We know you aren't working - and we aren't either until you get those up there....

Does this hurt or help? Take a look.

Hi all,

Thank you all for the input, comments and photoshopping...

I definitely plan on getting clears for it. They have somehow been overlooked in the other lighting mods I have been doing to it... i.e. recent clear litronics and i have to put the 550 red taillights on it i have... is removing the tails as easy as the headlights?

I had not even considered painting the mirrors and pillars black but that looks like a possibility if i keep the black top

I am considering either having the wheels powdercoated or painted black (maybe hyperblack?) and possibly the lips polished if I can find a good shop to do it. Anyone ever had that done and were you happy with the results? What did it run per wheel?

very nice ps examples dj, sp and i shouldn't forget denverpete's...

Thanks again,

Ian

While I like the black wheels it would almost be a shame to get those beauties painted (not powdercoated - see other threads).

With black rims it opens up the "Paint the calipers" issue.....red or yellow?...hmm....

Does it ever end?
