Nice rims ...Did you get the windows tinted as well? Tough to tell in the pics due to the glare on the glass. Nice color for the Vette too!!

Hope this works now.

Tinting the windows is the first thing we get done to every vehicle.

I'm mainly showing of the $40 mod to the wagon wheels.

I really like that mod for the older wagon wheels. Makes them look 10000000000% better.

Thought about lowering it but here in the Bluegrass state we don't have the best of roads.

Looks good! Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is the $40 mod? Is it a decal over the rim to make it appear as a split-fire?

If so, how does it look up close and where did you get it?

Sorry for the questions, but I have an identical car to yours and I honestly thought you put new/different wheels on it... Looks killer!

Here's a close up of the wheel. Sorry it is a little dirty.


It is decals that I got thanks to this forum.
