Not a big fan of black wheels, but I like the blacked out chrome.

Maybe it's for protection, doesn't do much for appearance.

meh....I'll see if it grows on me. It seemed to look better in my head.

Its just difficult to immediately scrap it, seein that it took some time and effort to even make the thing.

just because it took time and effort doesnt mean it looks good. i dont think it flows very well with the lines of the car. i really dont like unpainted parts on a car either, makes it look cheap; similar to an unpainted body kit.

sorry bro no love here.

isn't that just a DIY home depot lip that you make with the garage door stuff?


i thought about doing that, but up close the material looked really bad.
