Did the license plate cover today. Some tint and black rims and this car would be perfect.

Looks good, I like
I agree on the tint for sure, but you know I love those wheels, please do not paint them lol, I'd buy them and you could get a set that's silver (not chrome) to paint, that's an offer :poke:
If you ever decide to go that route... :btruestory:

Once I get winter tires and steel rims I'll start really thinking about the rims. They need rechromed or painted. Either I paint them or sell them and look for a painted set to paint black. I figured it'd be easier to just do it to the ones I have, rather than try to find another set. Even if I sold them, whomever buys them would need to get then redone. And you could just get a painted set chromed.

Get to it, man! Honestly, it probably took more time to drive and buy the paint than it did to paint the letters. And your car is the same color as mine. I'm not sure how this would look with other colors, say a blue car and white paint. There's so much black already on the car with the black window trim, the tires and the black lines in the taillights that it looks like the black letters just belong. If you painted them white it might not look right. But maybe then it would just stick out a little more. I'd like to see others try, not sure why this isn't a more popular mod, considering how easy it is.

Looks great..

What years did those rims go on Bonnevilles?

I know '00-01 were swoopies with the two different lug covers, and '02+ was the bent 5's... But I see the rims like you have quite often and have no idea what cars I'd find them on!

They were optional on 00-01. 20 spokes, hard to find (but amazing) in chrome. :wink:

Just used Dupli-Color touch up paint. The kind with the brush and the ballpoint pen tip. The pen works really good for filling in the letters.
