Really wanted to share these let me know what you all think.
I recently got my stock rims painted gunmetal at a local shop they did a great job really happy with them. I still don't know what to do with the chrome inserts. ![]() Also I don't like the stock grill so I blacked it out with carbon vinyl took me two tries but I think it looks decent. Thanks |

Thanks
BLUE was my first choice, BLACK was my second, really feel lucky that I got my hands on this one. Seems like it was difficult to obtain.

Both the wheels and grill look good. Can the chrome rings on the wheels not be removed and left off? Another option would be to paint them black to sort of disappear. For the grill, what about covering the bottom 2 vanes to tach the top 2?

Ya LeMeez, you read my mind about the chrome inserts, good idea for the grill too. Im going to get mt spoiler vinyl wrapped black I was thinking about asking them to do the chrome inserts matte gray, to match the wheels.

Thanks LeMeez. Ya you read my mind re: the chrome inserts. Im getting my spoiler vynil wrapped in black, I was thinking about asking them to do the chrome in matte gray to match the wheels. As for the grill that's a nice idea also, thought about that when I was doing the grill initially, but was just thinking the license plate may cover too much.
Here are some pics from the shop, chrome inserts are removed |

Thanks for those close ups, obviously there are two holes for each insert that makes it impossible to just leave them off. I wouldn't paint hem the same odour as the wheels, flat black or plastidip would be best IMHO.
