Blackouts installed

Sorry for the bad angle picture. I was barefoot. It is cold. I didn't feel like opening the garage. Anyway I thought these would look good since I have decided on the red/black color combo for the car. I recently switched from a tan top to the black one. A lot of work but well worth it. Which brings me to my next question...black wheels or leave em gold?

That looks awesome. And I agree with the black rims if you gonna go with that theme. Also, what kind of blackouts are they, they're nice.

The blackouts look good but the top is absolutely gorgeous i'd say go with the black wheels and that thing would look smoother than hell:hail:

Also get ahold of soem cheapy window tint film and black out your side running lights i think that'd look sweet. You can search for my post for blacking out teh lights with the film sweet car dude

Do you have the 15 inch GTA look-a-like wheels from 91-92? If so...step up to the 16 inch GTAs. They are a HUGE improvement.

I don't know. I just asked for them at the counter and they looked them up. I'm sure your local Autozone can hook you up.
