Default Stealth/sleeper look

I have a SS and am looking to get a more 'stealth-like/subdued' look. I want to blend in the environment, not stand out.

I have the Nismo wheels and love'm, but I'm thinking of chaning them to either the bronze Nismo's or gunmetal color of another brand like Volks.

I don't want heavier wheels for performance reasons.

I also am planning on tinting all the lights/reflectors. Want it subtle and not overly tinted because then it'll stand out again.

For the headlights, I can't decide between the 'blue, smoked, or yellow hue' overlays.

Overall I want a stealthy, subtle, classy look.

Thanks.

I'm going for the same look. I sold my flashy 19's for 18' bronze Nismos. Just trying to decide on a TT or a SC for the summer. Suspension is updated for now and I opted for Brembos from the dealer. The 20' DUB guys are not gonna know what hit em.

yellow overlays would not be steath and blend in well at all. just get a gunmetal te37 and smoke all your lights

if you want the sleeper look, leave it looking stock.

Good point.

Guess I'm looking for a little 'darker' look.

The previous post sounds like something I want to do, except get the Nismo Bronze wheels and smoke other lights/reflectors.

Still, you have a very good point.

I like the idea of stealth with bronze wheels & smoked lights. I'll be smoking the entire headlights this spring.

Just my opinion but bronze wheels don't work on SS. Go gunmetal maybe.

I completely blacked out my previous car. And after awhile it just got to looking plain and dirty all the time. With my Z I'm smoking the tailights and turn signals and calling it a day. Although I did get black wheels but they have a chrome lip so thats different.
