I 2nd the bumperette overlay. I've had mine professionally painted and they will eventually get damaged from road rash and weather. Having an overlay would mean easy change outs if they got wrecked.

New Pictures

I just wanted to post some new pics of customer's cars featuring my roll bar overlays.

The first is just one in Guards Red. I wish I had more pics.



The next are before and after in Seal Gray.











Others:









Check out my site: www.klisstle.com if interested.

Send me a PM or an email: derek@klisstle.com for any questions.

Thanks,

ddb

Contrasting Colors

Hi All:

I wanted to share some pictures of my car when I was considering going with a color other than body color on my roll bar overlays. My thought was to do the roll bar overlays in GT Silver Metallic to match the paint on my wheels. I didn't have a set of overlays painted in GT Silver Metallic, but I mocked this set of flat, aluminum-looking overlays onto the car just to try to get an idea if I would like it. I liked it a lot, but went with body color because I often think about painting the spokes of my wheels black. So for you more adventurous types, a contrasting color is an option.





If anyone is interested, I have a set of overlays already finished in Arctic Silver and another set in Midnight Blue. PM me for details. These pictures don't do them justice. They are truly beautiful!









Thanks,

ddb

Derek, I actually think I like the silver on your car better then the white. That silver would have gone good on my car too. I probably should have stopped by and tried out the Arctic on mine....though if Eric paints mine in the same quality he did my bumperettes I know the Guards red will be perfect. Looking forward to getting them.

Do you recommend any particular shop in Charlotte to powder coat wheels? I found several but would like to know if anyone has experience with any of them. I can drop Eric and email too.

Decisions

If I would have had a set painted in GT Silver Metallic I probably would have gone with them.

I dropped your overlays off to Eric this morning.

I do know of a place that powder coats wheels locally. I had these OE wheels off of a 2000 S powder coated back in 2005. I will have to find the contact information. I will PM it to you tomorrow.

Dang those are sweet, are they 17s like mine (mine that are for sale with tires sitting in my basement ) or 18s. What did you end up doing with them? The ones on your car now are very nice too, I certainly wouldn't change back
