It's very easy... a towel and a flathead screwdriver.

Don't paint them either color, especially not bronze.

Thats ghetto fabulous.

As for the drop, DO IT. You'll love it. Keep in mind camber settings cant be adjusted to spec after a certain amount of drop.

Bronze is for baby shoes and rocky statues... NOT for rims!

I like them as they are... powder coat flat black is going to look too dark on your ride... she's a beut as is... I wouldn't change a thing. Just my $.02

You paid for the car- you should do whatever makes you happy....you know what they say about opinions...

I like the color you have, though.

Select the area, desaturate, go to Hue/Saturation/Lightness

Select "Colorize" then have fun with the sliders. You might also go to Brightness/Contrast when you're done with the color to get the highlights/shadows right.
