Rims look great!
You should smoke or paint those yellow reflectors in front

Looks different. I like
I agree with Ryan, do something with the amber reflectors on the front and it'd look pretty *dang* cool. I'd say tint the tails too but I know you don't want to.

If you recognized that from the tread pattern, I'll be very alarmed...
lol
Yep, you're right, it's the Yokohama YK520s, seems to do good so far. Haven't had a chance to really beat on it to see the limits.
While the ambers are rather prominent, they're not very bothersome to me. I'll probably tint them later on with Niteshades

Okay, the calipers were looking like *shoot* so I painted them. I painted them while I was in a moment of insanity along with some suggestions.
I think it's so wrong that it's right.
Sorry if the pics look a bit blurry, they looked fine on the camera's screen when I was snapping pics...grr

Like I told you last night, It looks oddly cool.
When you told me you painted them yellow I wasn't sure I believed you and I didn't picture it looking good.
But as you said, wrongly right. The more I look at it the better it looks. I think you did fine

I love it, and the yellow calipers look great. Yellow and black really do go together good. Red wouldn't look as good.

The amber reflectors now are painted, looks much better.
Thank you for that suggestion.

I can't decide either i need daytime pics. I probly would have painted them black though, along with those reflectors and completed the blackout look.

Saw it in person yesterday...
Looks *dang* good. The yellow really pops behind the black wheels. And hopefully he doesn't mind me mentioning that he tinted the corners. The texture of the paint is almost an exact match for the bumper rub-strip, and the lights still shine through OK. The look of the car is so radically altered by those two changes it's unbelievable. Straight from nice-looking to borderline evil...
