believe it or not I had the idea before I saw the scheme on another 8 and then after we did it, I saw a couple different slight variations like bunique.

We did'nt bring the black down on the trunk like his and brought the black down into the bumper grill area to give it a more complete look IMO.

Thanks for compliments guys, and I know about pockets not being deep, i am just fortunate enough to have a friend that works at a body shop and we both know what we're doing.

Can't wait to get some rims and drop it a little.

And the tint will becoming, when money permits.

this was my original idea for repaint so glad someone went through with it

cant get over how well its painted. i wish mine would have been done as nice.

my recommendation to you is paint the wheels white (maybe powdercoat) and get some black muteki lugs.

i think the black wheels would be too much black.

I think that looks great - should do that w/ my SS - where yours is white, mine would be silver.
