    if i could, i would in a heart beat, but im just thinking if im going to be down there anyway, why not? its just a $30 DIY and way to kill and afternoon and reason to break open some brew. PLUS unless someone is gonna contribute some weaves to the "im broke as hell" fund then i dont think its going to happen.


    and whats wrong with my hood? it keeps the rain out ;)

      I'm sure there are other things you could do, like take apart your interior and clean it? Clean the engine bay? Fix up some loose ends? wash/polish/wax?

          what if i made the silver door trim black? would that make less of a contrast with the blackend bottle caps? just think silver alloy is kinda boring, but with such a tall ride height, painted caps will look kinda sleezey

            You can buy the black moldings (from a late model) and put them on. You'll probably want to buy some new clips as I hear they break easily.

            Honestly, just keep saving until you can do something that matters and do something for the cleanliness of your car.

              I think it really depends on what you plan to do with the car. Is it a keeper that you plan to restore, or just a junker/beater that you don't give a shit about?

              If it were my car, I would paint the wheels silver and just go with the OEM look. Silver will not take away from the look of your car, and is a good base to build off if you decide to restore it or keep around as a spare set if you do get other wheels eventually.

                  I say the money you're going to spend in spray paint for the wheels. You could atleast buy a set of kidneys for it...

                            paint weighs too much, and will slow you down.

                              Leave them silver! Your car needs way too much work to pull off even spray bombed b caps.
