My Chop

Well last night I was bored, and I finally decided that in the future (possibly around tax returns) I may do some of this.

-Ive wanted, and am still looking for some 17 or 18" Eagle Alloy 077s
-Hardwood hood
-Brickyard Spoiler

I did the chopping, except for the wheels, and I had Adric do the color scheme on the hood, and the rims... It was hard enough fitting it alright. Im really liking the colors... I was debating, but I think I want the spoiler black, and the stripes like that on the cowl. If not, I want maybe a single or double stripes down the cowl, I like how it looks now though.

Oh, god. take the lip off. I refuse to ever do that, so dont anyone ever ask me to. I will not follow the crowd.

It might look kinda cool having black rims... take away the lip once.

You want me to paint them mismatched like that?

Ive prettymuch decided that Im going to leave them black. Its grown on me. besides, Im not making double digits an hour at GM, so its not like I have money to paint them anyway. It would be last on my list. Youre the second person out of like 40 Ive talked to that has said you want them painted.

This is what it would look like painted:

With all due respect to AJ, it looks nice, but its not me. Im a person who has to be different.

If it was all black it would look like steel wheels missing their hubcaps when you're driving. That's why you leave the lip, that and it stands out more.
