REfinishing rims but what color?

**Z28_Driver** · 02-28-2011, 07:18 AM

Did you make any decisions yet on if your going to paint the hood red or add more black to the car?

Maybe the top surfaces. Hood, roof, hatch. That might look nice with the new wheels.

**JoshuaGrooms83** · 03-02-2011, 09:55 PM

Probalby not until after the 20th of mar probably. Im still waiting on my tires to get here.

**JoshuaGrooms83** · 03-13-2011, 09:52 AM

I got word from my wife that some tires came in the mil while mi away on business! Hopfully all my tires are all there when i get back there

then pic for Sure on the car.

**sjsingle1** · 03-13-2011, 10:58 AM

so where did you get the birds for the center caps?

**JoshuaGrooms83** · 03-21-2011, 07:16 AM

Got the birds off of ebay. they do custom colors for bird and background.

Got tires on the fronts, now just waiting on rear tires. Turns out only the fronts came in

but oh well.

**JayTA98** · 04-01-2011, 04:41 PM

are you done with them? I'm waiting to see some pics installed! They look like they are going to look awesome!

**JoshuaGrooms83** · 04-02-2011, 03:54 AM

Sorry guys on still away on business for the army, lots going on in this corner of the world all of a sudden lol

Got the front tires on the rims, still waiting for rear tires to come in that my parents said they would hook me up with for my B-day. I might just go ahead and get some 295s on my own from tirerack just to get them here on the way faster and which eve gets here ill put on. Not like i wont need extra tires lol.

Still wondering on the paint scheme though. Im gonna the do the rear diffuser thing from 6LE and have black, not sure if i want it matte or flat, and then the hood i might paint it red but the black sets it apart from everyone else. I have red hood inserts that i like instead of the standard black or chrome that everyone does. Still gotta get a dash pad though. stupid cobble stone roads lol
