      I don’t do photoshop.. but I would like comment on this car’s cosmetics.

      Some cars pull off monochromatic – and some don’t.

      This is a great example of one done right. Love the shaved door trim. Love the skirts. Love the smoked/dark grill area. Reminds me of certain 60’s chargers or camaros. Looks like the front grill area is some sort of dark mouth ready to consume air and small children. Also provides great, simple contrast with monochrome theme.

      I’d leave kidneys black. Looking at pics of white e30s with chrome kidneys should give you an idea of how your car would look with white kidneys.

      One thing that my eye is drawn to is your mirror stems. I feel they’d look better white.

      Black wheels on your car would be evil contrast.

        Sorry, I can't see the kidney's outline correctly, I'm not that good at photoshop, they end looking to thick, anyway, it will look bad (at least to me);)

          That car looks hot the way it is. But a set of white kidneys will propobly look good too. I'd go to a junk yard and pick up another set of kidneys and paint them white. They can't be that much from a junk yard.

              Thanks man, I may paint the wheels black eventually but they have a really nice finish on them right now. I doubt Ill paint the kidneys. Ive never thought they looked good body color but I wanted to atleast see what it looks like.

                        there used to be an e30 dressed up as a cop car saved on my comp, but now i cant find it. that one had white kidneys, but i think they were like 5-series or something.

                              white kidneys might actually not look that bad on your car! I might try and do a better pshop when I get home.

                              Lucasbmw's car looks hot but I'm not a big fan of that style of kidneys.
