Those look good, im assuming you clear coated them? Did you tape over the valve stems and just not take the tape off of them?

I didnt take the tape off the stems until I put them on.

looks good... do something with your hood steph, flat black doesnt do it for me

My hood isnt flat black. I painted it with actually black car paint, but didnt clear it. Did it because there are a lot of cracks in the CF hood and it was fading bad. It looks tons better than what it did but I still need to find an OEM hood.

it dont look gold to it might be a shade of gold but when u think of gold u think bling...thats more dull looking...turned out good but... it would have been a better paint job if u took off the tires. you can see where u taped it off @ on some of the edges.

but what do i KNOW im just a trend follower

I didnt tape any of the edges though. Only thing I taped was the red lip and that was with fine line tape so there was no edge.

Also if you take the tire off you have to put it back on and when the paint is still curing you have a chance of chipping it, and I put too much work into these for that to happen.

most likely. and suprisingly they were curb rashed a decent amount and the red hides it which I was excited about.
