Painted the gold wheels black this weekend. Did a quickie job this time so they look good from a distance but not so good up close.

that hood is for the Trans Am. I plan on having the hood and Trans Am painted at the same time. I've got the Formula and a GTA hood that will be going on the Formula. So many choices.

Wheels look alot better black than gold, even if it's just a daily. I'd stay put the power bulge back on the formy. I don't like the flatstyle hood w/o some ground effects...

I'll probably go with the bulge hood.
I do want to remove the side strips (those things on the fender and door), what's the easiest way to get them off?

i just slowly pulled mine off and then cleaned up the residue with 3M adhesive remover. the adhesive remover doesn't hurt the paint.
