Want to stand out!! risky?

blueAsmurf · October 28th, 2010, 06:51 PM

Hey guys, i was thinking about changing stuff up. I'm looking to maybe take a risk and stand out a bit. Right now i have the rims pictured in my signature, but i want to get the chrome lip powder coated black. Ive seen some cool pics of cars with a stripe around the lip of the rim and i was wondering how you guys think it would look with a sonic blue stripe around the outside lip of the rim? The car below isnt mine, but as close as i could find as far as color and rim. Could anyone photoshop the stripe on for me so i can see it before i try it? Let me know your opinions!

Really?

I guess a small, color matched stripe is a pretty big risk, maybe you should just start with some color matched tire pressure caps

yeahh if you click this link and go down the page theres a bunch of pics of cars with it done, no sonic blue though.

Post up pics of black rims with red pinstripes. - SVTPerformance

I was trying to be funny, I dont really like a chrome lip (full chrome rims are ok)
There is no reason you should not get the stripe done, it looks sick as hell, no matter the color

(thats a good group of pics BTW)

blueAsmurf · October 28th, 2010, 07:33 PM

Yeah man i think the stripe looks sick too, just want to see if someone can photoshop that for me first.

nuStang · October 28th, 2010, 07:44 PM

Heres a quick try

Hmmm, I am on the fence about it, but if you think it will look good then go for it.

nuStang · October 28th, 2010, 08:24 PM

*shhh... dont trust his judgement, he has chrome lips...* lol

sc55509 · October 28th, 2010, 08:36 PM

I prefer chrome over anything, but I prefer blue lip over all black, and besides you want to be different that is definitely different and not in a distasteful sense.

blueAsmurf · October 28th, 2010, 09:17 PM

Thanks alot for that nuStang..and yeah I have blacked out tails , did it today actually..

SC55509 - Yeah i agree, im on the fence about it too.

sc55509 · October 28th, 2010, 09:32 PM

I say do it.

Yeah and i can always have the stripe taken off if i dont like it. Anyone have experience with powder coating? how much should it cost to get the chrome changed to black?

bottled2v · October 28th, 2010, 11:00 PM

that will look SICK!
i deff think you should go for it.

sc55509 · October 29th, 2010, 01:28 AM

When I wanted my old bullits powder coated black, it was 250 for all 4. Idk if thats normal or it that is cheap but thats what they told me.

Thats not too bad, ill do some shopping around. I dont know anything about powder coating, whether theyll have to redo the whole rim or just will be able to do the chrome lip in black to match. My guess would be that theyd have to do the whole rim.

RZNCAIN · October 29th, 2010, 02:18 AM

I think it looks awesome

V8POWA! · October 29th, 2010, 02:27 AM

yeah im seeing a lot more cars have the stripe of whatever the car it, i like it.

VinceS2K · October 29th, 2010, 02:28 AM

+!, i love this idea!

you should go for it man!

tinkerbell_too · October 29th, 2010, 12:01 PM

I think it looks great. I would definitely do it
