Thanks Clayman. My calipers are red now. I am planning to lower it soon. I am surprised most of you guys are against them. Everyone who has seen them in person loves them. Today at dealer, mechanic asked if he could take pics of it and said best looking one he has seen in dealership. Too many people go with Gunmetal and Bronze on these cars.....

I like them but here is my interjections:

1. Isn't that a spa yellow??

2. When you color match like that you are inadvertantly putting yourself in a "wilder" class of modification. Most cars that color match thier wheel Murcielagos, Gallardos, other super exotics and trailer queen show cars do so because they can.

It is still perfectly fime IMO to do this but people may be expecting some serious ICE and other "baller" type mods to go along with the rims. IMO this type of mod is usually the "finishing" touch on a sick wild car.

I like them and keep in mind, most these people who are blasting them would have no problem with a Berlina Black with black Spoon rims or other powder coated type rim. It is just a bright color match instead of a darker one.

I like it! Something different, something that fits your personal style. I agree with most, you need a front lip.

Kinda reminds me of the mid to late 90's SALEEN's that were all yellow. Different YES, but not for me!
