Aaahh i remember now.. you painted your wheels not too long ago huh? flat or satin black.. Now glossy.. I really hope you prepped your rear with sanding and a primer first or else after a few washings you are gonna rub right through it and get some nasty red splotches..
I'm not knocking you for wanting to change things up a bit but quick and easy mods sometimes don't work out to well in the long run and you are left with the guilt of, "Damn i should have waited and done it right"or" FuQ i rushed it!"... been there, done that.. Just not to this car. That is why it's taking me sooo long to get where i want with it (time and money)
Anyways again not to be a hater cause i kinda digg the rear blacked out, seen it only a few times. I might do it to my car since i have a blacked out grill and roof too.
maybe i am a worry wart
hope it all holds up

Cool.. I always thought of painting the vertical lines of my front lower grill black.. may have to try a photoshop of it.. great to hear you did the painting right..
I had a boss awhile ago when I did custom carpentry that said, "Remember the 7 P's of life kid. Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance." I luv'd that saying. Guess it kinda stuck with me..
