You did an amazing job on those fenders. It looks great and the time and effort really shows up in the finished project. It made me wish I had my old white FC, as I forgot how good shiny white paint looks on these cars!

As for painting your WORK's...I don't know. You will have to take your time and do some photobucket editing with color changes to get a good contrasting wheel color.

Maybe a silver but a dark silver...not gun metal but like a pewter maybe??

Anyway great job on the fenders and car in general!!
Thank you! I've already taken the advise from a couple of guys on here and I am going with a bronze color on the wheel should be done soon.

Thanx, yeah the diffuser sits really low so if I go any lower I will not be able to get in and out of my driveway.

This has to be one of the best if not the best stock-bodied FC on this forum.

FC's look excellent in white.
