Stay black, or go bronze?

Post by kc2005ptgt » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:51 pm

Ok, so for many months and possibly years I have attempted to go with all black and red on the exterior of the car. But, lately, since we had such a rough winter and the douche at NTB wasn't careful when he aligned my car I have some paint flaking (oh yeah, I did not do the best job, first time painting) on my wheels... you can see it on the front in the pic below.

Question: Should I keep it black, or should I make it bronze? I like the bronze on flame red, it looks freaking awesome! but I am not sure if it will clash with the rest of the car, since it is all red and black right now.

Here is a current pic, can someone chop bronze onto wheels??

i say black, it just gives your car a clean serious look. bronz would get you the wrong attention..



this isnt related to the topic but since a pic of louies car was posted, i might as well say what i have to say..

I like this idea with the rear bumper.. i would of never thought of cutting it to look like the srt4 and to fit the exoust.. nice job..

yeah, for four rims, thats good price... mine in black would have been 100, plus 10 for dismount and then remount and balance... so 140

for bronze, it owuld have been 140 +mount/balance of 40 again, so yeah, not bad!

I decided to go with the bronze, and as of now it is finished but not on car, will get pics later though, cant do it now, plus I forgot the damn camera, again!
