I dunno, entire cars are nice. But those pieces alone makes you look like a carbon fanboy, who can't afford it, so resorted to painting.

That would be a great color to paint your entire car. I have actually considered doing so myself some day, however I'm not a huge fan of it on only part of the car.

whole car will be around 4 grand, that probly cost him under 1... thats his thoughts i can guarentee that. looks alright but what would really help you out and keep your total costs down is if you masked off the whole car and did a satin clear coat on the entire car, not repainting but just the clear. giving you a satin silver/black. then the ride will look hot. satin black OVERDONE IMO!! satin silver = win!



that colour will be your result and it will probly run you well under a grand to re-clear the entire car.
