^ yeah, i think it's a pretty good look. it'll be a lot more work than doing them flat black though!

i ordered some rally armor mudflaps yesterday, so combine that with the window tint, side mount plate, and black or gunmetal rims, and my RA should look pretty sick! a drop will definitely be in order in the future. gotta think performance first though...

i want black stock rims on my wicked white RA too....but im afraid after 1 northeast winter the paint wont hold up....ive been calling different powder coating places to get some quotes on getting the rims powder coated....the cheapest place I found is asking for $75 per rim = $300 total....of course I would have to bring my rims to a shop to get the tires dismounted and get them mounted back on and balanced afterward so it would probably cost ~$400 total + 1 week of my RA sitting on jack stands.....

Gunmetal would be hotter than black. And you need some 20% tint too. So sexy.

agreed. if i am going to paint/powdercoat, it'll be gunmetal. i don't know why so many people on his thread are so down on the red calipers though. i think it looks great!

The gunmetal is looking pretty damn nice. Is Larry Miller going to paint them or powdercoat them? I know of a place that can powdercoat them all for $100 & they're local!
