Got both of the cars washed today.

Post by 98SSE »

My wife keeps saying her car looks better and is faster. I keep telling her she's crazy.

Seems everybody is into the blacked out wheels these days,
but I have to disagree with your wife, and the swoopies look awesome.

I like black wheels also, just depends on the car. She wanted the blacked out theme so we did that, plus the original chrome was peeling pretty bad on the wheels. It is just plasti-dipped if we ever want to take it off. Thanks for the complement!

It's a tough pick. The "Bleen" color on that GTP is amazing, especially when it's all clean and polished up.

Both look great though!

While I know mine is faster, I'm not in denial about hers looking better lol. It's all in good fun.

The fun part is looking slow, but being fast. Sleepers FTW!!!

Thanks guys, I'm hoping to get into the sleeper status soon. Just need a few more mods and a dyno. The wife appreciates the compliment also.

The Bonneville is better looking to my eyes, but both look great.

The swoopies are in my top 5 favorite factory rims. I would love to get a set for my SLE, but I'm not sure how well they would look on the GXP-style body.

I also like the color on the GP, but I'm a huge fan of the green on your car. Especially with the cleared corners on the headlights! Both cars look great.
