I am painting my rims black this coming week:

I am ordering a Carbon fiber trunk in the next week or so, but I also thought about painting the roof black:

I curb rashed them really bad today, I might not go black maybe gunmetal. But I want something darker, it will go with the theme of the car (look I am going for)

^^^ i think black rims are played out - too many out there. if you went 2 tone black/gunmetal it would look righteous with the body and cf add-ons.

nope, the b-pillar is actually just tape, if you open the door and look on the inside you can see the line of tape so with a finger nail you can basically peel it up. It takes a little while to do, you can get some nice strips going then it breaks and then there are sections that remain stuck under the rubber stripping, so i used a combination of credit cards and razor to pick out the little pieces left. Lastly there will be some residue so you need to use some goo gone to get that goo off. I have a few little scratches from doing it so I buffed them out with some rubbing compound.

Someone sees the look I am going for.

I might have the carbon fiber painted body color, but ever since I got the hood the carbon fiber look is growing on me and I like it.
