Also my intent in order to lessen the illusion that the car is standing on its nose. As they will be Crystal White painted over MIC black and will be subject to stone chips, I will also have them 3M UltraShielded after the paint is fully cured.

Does that also include smoothing them out. I thought I got it done cheap @ $300 but I also had gas cap, mirrors and valance below windsheild and caps for tow hooks. Mines tinted, and I painted the headlights, air horn, already have the 17"s not chrome though. As soon as I get eibach springs they'll go on, then headers and intake. Next winter I hope to install the smartuki. Then it will be fully pimped. But then again it'll probably never be done.

check pictures in gallery white smart or wheels
