                          I kinda like the black kidneys on this one.

                          Duplicolor trim paint is awesome! Cheaper than SEM and just as good as far as I can tell...

                            Anybody hating on blacked out kidneys is a pile of poo.

                            BLacked out kidneys are hot on the right car.

                            I like your car a lot.




                            Tell me blacked outs not sexy!!

                            Don't mean to thread jack.

                            I personally think chrome is tacky as hell.

                              black grills look good on some cars, maybe you should try a gunmetal kidney grill.
