oh well I wasnt going to do the fan blades....hmm

i might get 2 cans for each tire and then if i have leftovers i will do my badges.

you think it would look decent on a windveil blue car with black lemans stripes and tinted windows?

Black goes with just about anything!

This is exactly what I've been looking for! I just had my taillights, third brake light and side markers tinted, and been trying to figure out what to do about the chrome emblems to finish the black out look. Thanks for the post!

Did the exact thing. VHT'ed my 3rd light and side markers, and ordered the smoked 2010 style tails. Now I need to do the cap black and add a vinyl.

Here's my sweet MS paint "photoshop" of what it'll look like:

I blacked out my grill pony a few weeks ago with ultra flat black paint after a full prep of the pony, after a few days the paint was chipping from being a daily driver. I stripped it down to bare plastic and this time used the plasti dip, been on for a week and looks perfect. Im going to do my FR500's next.

I was going to get those taillights. And wasn't sure if I'd like them or not so just went with tinting the stock lights. But I see them on your ride and they look good. I'm sure I wouldn't have been dissapointed.

 

[S197gt07]

Well, that is as I said just a mockup i did using MS paint.

Real ones are in a box in the basement waiting for the rain to stop. I'll snap a few pics when they're in.

Wow, I am on the bandwagon with this one....This stuff looks killer!
