Yea that must not have been much of a masking job. I'd like to see more pics of the wheels on the car, different angles and better lighting. There's more non painted wheel pics here than painted wheel pics :shrug: :thumb:

To each his own but I'm with VortecGT on this. Gunmetal is way better. Here's mine...

i like how the "SHO" on the centre caps are done in red. Although i think the white looks better than the gun metal.

The gun metal looks like rims that have never been cleaned lol. If the gun metal had maybe more of a metallic look or polish to them, than i would probably like those over the white painted rims.

But its looking good. The more i read about the SHO and see what you guys do to them, the more i want to keep it! lol. But i just cant handle a high maintenance japanese motor. I would rather have me easy gonig 302 in a foxbody stang! :p

The cars look great - all of them! On the red one, consider taking that blue Ford oval off the trunk lid, and put a color matching red one on, in its place.

I don't think it looks very good.

However, The over spray on the tire brought the Lulz. Reminded me of that guy who rattle canned the piping for his Turbo SHO....with it still in the car...with no Masking. :rofl:

The Duplicolour "graphite" actually have a ton of flakes in it, it's a pretty nice colour overall.

As for the motor being high maintenance, it's not. Just the rest of the car is. :rofl:

No kidding, should have spent 2 minutes to mask the tire with some tape and newspaper...

well i actually masked off the tires and it didnt seen to stick on that one for some reason and I already knew I had to clean it off. Oh if you look at my hood in the picture of the fish tank mod you can see that the driver side sits way to high. I have tried to adjust it but that did not seem to work. any ideas?

If it's the rubber stopper stopping it from shutting right just lower it or just bend the hood in the opposite direction.
