Refinished Look for the "Winter"

2swift · 12-27-2011, 02:17 PM

Decided to change the finish of my wheels and added some other small cosmetic mods just in time before the new season here in So Cal lol. Here's some before pics:

And the new refinished look:

Loving the new bronze look so far!

Gotta say I like the old look 10x better.

Olagüe · 12-27-2011, 02:25 PM

great shots!

chris s · 12-27-2011, 02:32 PM

agreed...old look was much better IMHO. But if you're happy...thats what matters. Nice car!

David@Sonic MS · 12-27-2011, 02:46 PM

Looking good... ADV1 FTW

RON1X · 12-27-2011, 03:07 PM

you can't go wrong with either...gorgeous car with both looks

Blindside_137 · 12-27-2011, 03:10 PM

i like both! I understand the desire to refresh every once in a while!

Boostin FD · 12-27-2011, 03:13 PM

new look looks like wheels are dirty from the brake dust... I like the old one better. To each his own though.

I like it but I gotta say the old look is better.

Raja Ventureshield · 12-27-2011, 03:26 PM

The bronze looks odd to me. But all that matters is you like it.

M3PO · 12-27-2011, 06:10 PM

Old finish was better IMO.

Singletrack · 12-27-2011, 06:21 PM

Love the bronze! Old finish is also beautiful.

nice like the look

cool update

jonasaurus · 12-28-2011, 04:44 AM

Looks good either way but prefer the bronze as its something different and a bit more individual.

Stronghammer · 12-28-2011, 05:36 AM

OP your car looks great. Can you briefly describe the process of refinishing your wheels (Paint ? powdercoat ? time ? cost ?)
