A little paint goes a long way.

I decided to try a little custom painting on the stock wheel covers. it made the car look lots different. Still not sure I like it.

Tint your windows and install the Brabus headlights and I can get you a job here in Las Vegas to wack some people. You do have the stock exhaust we dont want them to hear you coming.

I like it - keep it. Nice touch with the logo too - good thinking. As stated before, window tint and blacked out headlights would be the next level along with LOTS of Armor-All to compliment that black. Looks great though

I was thinking about a darker tint on the windows but the local law enforcement likes to pick on cars with dark windows... Good idea about the headlights.

Stock exhaust so if I get laid off, I might be out for a visit....

I think the covers tends to bring out my 'bad side' First song that came on the radio was 'Bad to the bone' I think it was a sign..

Maybe you could get some white door panels and masquerade as a cop-car?? Park behind hills and signs and give drivers a thrill . . .

That sounds "old" Who but us geezers would remember "black and whites." Cool idea!
