Its not like painting them would cost that much...and plus it would look a hell of a lot better

mr_eh · 03-15-2007, 11:44 AM

considering painting them, i have a paint guy now so i may get him to hit the rims/mirrors...

i loved painting the mirrors on the grand am and have been debating it more and more.... originally i didnt want to bother but, its a free extra orange peice on the car that wont look tasteless =P

GrandAmGT1996 · 03-15-2007, 11:48 AM

I dont know if I would paint the mirrors, because if you are going with the whole orange/black thing they might actually flow and not look bad

DrFabulous · 03-15-2007, 01:11 PM

Does your car even have a back bumper? I've only seen shots of the front...

I think the painted mirrors look really classy for the Neon. Some cars I don't like it as much, but that one pic makes it look very nice. And that blacked out/tinted/painted/whatever turn signal is a nice touch, you should try that. Maybe tint your tails?

mr_eh · 03-15-2007, 01:26 PM

the back of the car is completely stock looking... havent decided what to do back there yet...

2002GT · 03-15-2007, 01:41 PM

looks good man. the only thing i would do looks wise would be powercoat the stockers.

mr_eh · 03-15-2007, 02:30 PM

powdercoating rims makes them weaker and more succeptable to cracking =/

Rich · 03-15-2007, 02:33 PM

o rly? like how much weaker?

mr_eh · 03-15-2007, 02:38 PM

*shrug* thats the general consensus on why NOT to powder coat rims everywhere i've read/heard

Sleepwalkr · 03-15-2007, 04:04 PM

If you do decide to paint the wheels.... for the love of God, don't do the whole wheel black. Leave the lip silver. Entirely black wheels just look oh so gay. And yes, do paint the mirrors to match the orange. It'll flow better with the orange of the fenders, door, and A-pillar.

ah that's okay, most people leave their rear ends stock, and upgrade their front.

theres not much to do in the back, i honestly enjoy leaving it stock back there... the only way you'd know anything about the car was the flames shooting out underneath

... a lot of people are pushing me to get a carbon fiber trunk, we'll see i spose

GrandAmGT1996 · 03-15-2007, 06:09 PM

A carbon fiber trunk would look really good....you should get one
