what do you like best?

Well Im kind of gettiing bored with the look of my car, I intend on trading my old *** headers for a powerbuldge hood as soon as I get my car runing, But while Im sitting around with nothing to do on the car(cant spend more then 5 bucks on parts) I was thinking of changing the wheel color to black.


What did you like best

Gold
or
Graphite?

How do you feel black would look?

IMO black all the way, black out that crome thing around the door, the crome handle, and everything. This is a little off topic, but I really don't like the way these cars look without a spoiler.

I like the black rims better and black the trim out too. I think the power bulge hoods are awesome, thats a must do in my book. Like someone else said......put a spoiler on that car! -Nick.

No spoiler unless its a firehawk spoiler and i dont have the cash for that.

I might black out the chromethingy, but I dont want to risk it with paint.

I love the way the bumpers are so no 91-92 style for now.

and the 406 is in the garage awaiting vortecs and a xe284
