Default Photochop help please!

Can someone help me out with this? I'd like to see what the sidepipes would look like in black. And also I'd like to see the wheels black too with that. Not the beauty ring or the center hub, just the actual wheel behind that black. A buddy of mine keeps saying that I should do this and I'd like to see what it's look like. I think it might look wierd with the chrome rocker panel back there. Lets find out! Thanks guys!

Thanks Hoov! Great job. The pipes don't look bad at all. Don't really like the wheels though. I like the chrome look on the pipes too though. hmmmm... Thanks again!

i like the look of the black pipes...they're definitely not suited for every car, but some can pull it off. i think yours looks great in chrome or black!
i would say though that if you make your pipes black, then you should put different wheels on...say some black low profile rims
