blackout opinion???

Thinking of changing all the chrome M logos on the M Coupe to flat black and the grill surrounds. I would like opinions on the looks of that on an Interlagos blue coupe. Also is there a way to darker the lips on a set of wheels without a respray?

Blacked out is always a good idea, IMO.
But are you mentally ready for haters be hating?

I would do gloss black, personally.

Are the lips removable on the wheels? Can you clarify what you mean by darken? Something like a smoked clear coat?

yes to darken the lips, its not possible to remove the lips though.
Anyone have a preferred place to buy emblems other than Ebay?

You have to respray the lip to change its color.
Three piece wheel is easier to respray than a monoblock.

MFESTlab.com, cos they are OEM and top notch customization job.

I think it is dope... but there are some that are going to say it is played and the hater parade will start. I think Mfest sells most of what you are looking to do. For the wheels you are going to have to respray as far as I know!

I think flat black on that Interlagos blue would look sick!
