Thanks, I plan to do the brakes bronze too just to tie that color into my car a little more. I need to upgrade brakes to at least 350's size though.

Thanks, the lips have a very different texture to them since theyre anodized, definitely gonna be a PITA to keep clean....

I can't believe you pulled it off without any fender mods.
That's why i did it

3 times with Hankooks? I've never ran these tires before, i always get Nitto Invo's. Elaborate please, or is simply just from what you see in the pictures?

Agreed

And thank you.

I will be 10ft from curbs from now on. I imagine curbing these will be VERY noticeable and unlikely to ever fix.

Check with a vendor. I'm sure prices vary depending on a lot of factors.

Painting the grill and emblem gloss black. Just been too lazy, but it will get done before a car show first week of April.

The cost of a few cans of spray paint and sand paper and sealant. DIY FTW

Again, thanks to the comments. Kinda surprised no one has hated on black wheels yet. haha

That's a really nice color combination. I would have gone the same route, colorwise, with the white IS.
