sup guys, i was just thinking of changing up the look of my notch by powdercoating my saleen style rims, either gloss black or semi gloss black since the color of the notch is a dark color , or just leaving it silver. what do you guys think.

I say murdered out looks better.

Gloss black rims, tint the back, and swap those centercaps with some SVT logos and it would look sick!

you car doesnt look solid black in the pic. Kinda looks like it has a blue pearl? Black looks good I am kinda on the fence with it. But if you did do it. I would tint the windows, get smoked tails and head lights. And you must keep the tire walls looking good, not ashy and dirty. If you black it out, you have to go balls out with IMO

I think black is sick but with the color of your car it will be better to leave as is. You got my opinion now [Big Grin]

Keep it silver in my opinion. But, what ever makes you happy is what you should do.

I wouldn't go black. Not with the Dark Plum Paint. It just don't think it will match well. But that's me.
