OOOH, nice. Did you do that yourself?

Ya know what would look amazing? If you went for a blue lip, and a moderate silver spoke. That would look fantastic, if you have the means to do so!

Nice s5 vert, btw! Very clean!

I agree. And personally, while I like the blue, I think the bronze looks better on your car.

From the pictures I like bronze better but I guess I would have to see it in person because of what you said about the flakes, that and the blue just seems too bright for the car in the pictures.

Love the spoiler though.

Wow! How "ricer" of you!

Looks terrible... but thats my $0.02... If it works for you! GREAT! However, nothing that hideous would ever touch my car...

Yeah, I love the spoiler too... but... how in the hell do you get into your trunk?

Wheels look pretty cool. I was going to do the same to my 91 5-spoke wheels... not blue.. but black.. or re-painted silver.... haven't decided yet.

I know he asked for opinions and all, but there is like a nice way to put something, and a dick way to put something. I bet you wish your car even looked half as good as his. blue rims ftw!

i like it so thats all that matters..everyone has there own opinions which is fine..i guess u would have to see it in person..the pics dont do justice..cuz in person the color of the rims brings the blue flakes out in the paint...and yea i dont care for the rims much but thats what was on there when i bought the car and i dont have money for new ones rite now so im making due with what i got

You can get all sorts of nice wheel paint at autozone, made by duplicolor. They have white, rally silver, gunmetal, bronze, and probably flat and gloss black too.

I think half of my dislike is for the wheels themselves...even stock 86-88 GXL or BBS convertible wheels would make the car look a world better.
