I would do black centers with orange lips, that would really tie it all together, I realize that look is not for everyone but it looks sharp and you are not exactly flying under radar with that car so why not have some fun with it

Where did you get the carbon front lip? I was thinking of doing the car on front diffuser?

Nice work dude! I suggest 15mm spacers front and rear to really tuck those wheels and tires. You may need to roll the rear fenders, bit that's simple.

I had the fenders rolled when I did the paint job and I have the spacers, but now I need to order the right size bolts.

Thanks guys! Yeah the black maybe "old / overplayed", but on some color combos it just works! Let us know how it turn out. You can also due black glossy lip and satin center. Kinda like this.. Not my car though.

If you were to do a satin centre I'd go for a textured powder coat

your car looks great.. what color is that? black wheels would look good, maybe the matte black instead of gloss black.. lips stay the way they are.. brake calipers need to match your paint.. would look really good... again.. great looking car..

Don't paint your wheels black. Your car looks really good just as it is. You're walking the fine line between cool and tacky...black wheels or any kind of colored wheel is really going to put you over the edge, IMHO. Honestly, I think most black wheels just look like cheap, heavy garbage that people put on '04 Mustangs.

You've got a winner, leave it as it is!

Any pics of your interior? Would also like a close up of your front lip? Where did you get the carbon front lip?

How much did you end up paying for the wing and all the painting/mounting?

I have the mashaw GT2 front bumper cover with carbon fiber lip but still have the stock rear wing. I've been thinking about going with the mashaw GT2 rear wing to match, but I haven't been able to get a solid quote from anybody on the cost.

Also how much was it to get the wheels done in black and who did them for you? I have HRE43R wheels on it in chrome right now, but I'm thinking about going with black instead. I might leave the polished lip and just do the centers black. I don't suppose anybody has any pictures of a car with black centers and polished lips?

Here's how the car looks right now (sorry for the crappy cell phone camera):

The carbon front lip came with the GT2 front bumper from MAShaw. I'm not sure how long it will last but for now it looks nice.
