Default Black ~ Black Wheels pics

I'm formulating up pic ideas for my 73' I'd like to see if anyone has done something like the "Murdered" out look on the newer C3's. I'm just curious really, my brother has a C4 Zo6 completely blacked out (minus the taillights and headlights) and i have to admit it looks MEAN.

I painted my wheels black, but I'm sure it's not really what you're talking about.

I bet it would look pretty cool.

Let's bump this back up and see what happens.

Didn't the "murdered out" look die a couple years ago? Seems so played out now.

I am pretty sure that every look is played out. There is only so much you can do to a car that is ground breaking.

True, or maybe I'm just getting old (34).

Never?

I guess Torque Thrust 2's are a rarity in the automotive scene as well.

You might be being sarcastic...but that's my point. Some looks will always be around they will never be played out....old and around for a long time but never played out.
