I didn't get a chance to re-install the egr visor.. anyhow i'm thinking of painting my rims.. for some reason when i bought my wheels the color didn't match.. 2 are darker than the other two.. so i'm not sure if will paint it Bronze or Gunmetal.. the orig color is Chromium Black..

What do you guys think?

Bronze, be different.

The current color right now is close to guntmetal.. and bronze is what i'm planning.. a bit darker shade of bronze..

Yeah if you're gonna do Bronze, IMO it would look best with the Dark Bronze w/o gloss. (Just the satin coat) Its closer to a brownish bronze almost and not that "Golden" bronze. I remember there were some 5Zigen wheels I wanted that were in that color, they looked really bad azz and different too.

Exactly, i might just pour little amount of clear w/ the base color on the final coat.

I'll be removing the front bumper again tom. to paint the rad support flat black. We'll see how that will improve the front. I should have painted it before but was hesitant.

you can purchase semi-gloss and flat clear coat. Im talking both in a rattle can and also for professional use with a spray gun.

I'm working on building a rack for the passive xover for the JL XR's inside my trunk (placed on the right). I don't have them yet but I'm getting ready so I'll just have to hook it up once it's here. I'm also running 2 pair for wires for the seps. Here's how my trunk looks like now..
