Default my cheap "time attack" :)

So. I'm cheap (for now), and don't feel like dropping $$ on some new wheels.
Painted stock wheels, put a red vinyl lip.
Thoughts? Comments?



edit: pic of whole car below... :/

that looks horrible. not only is the look played out but you made a 17" rim look even smaller.

the vinyl lip isn't even for starters - and the paint looks like blotty brake dust on stock rims



in summation: I don't know what you were thinking it would turn out looking like, but it didn't. it looks hideous and you should pull that vinyl off as fast as you can pick your chubby cheetos eating *** off the hammock in the basement of your parent's house.

I like the car, still don't like the wheels. I'd recommend 1 color, i.e. no "time attack". Somebody else said this in some other thread, but that's clock assault right there.

I think the craftsmanship in the black paint was done pretty well. I think the red lip is uneven, and horribly out of place, on a silver Z. the only thing that could have matched the red even slightly (tail lights) are blacked out.

I think it would look worlds better as all black.

Ah I see. My friend convinced me on the red lip.
I'll probably just play on photoshop and see what it looks like w/o.
But still not decided.. haha.

It would look better with red tails so it matches at least one thing...

modding on a budget is one thing, modding on a ghetto budget = might as well keep it clean and stock.

Exactly what I would do for any car I own. Keep stock unless I can afford nice parts.

Yeah I was thinking about that. Maybe I'll upgrade to the LED tails and keep them red. For now though, it matches the demon eye mod

And i guess "To Each His Own" :/
