    Seeing the rims against the color of our grey car is so much better than the hub caps in silver.
    You did a great job on the plasti dip, did you take the grill out or tape around it?

I'm thinking of making those black to offset the purple. but i'm not sure if it will look good. so attached is the only picture i have off it all purple. Currently the door handles are silver as well and the lip kit is back to black.

    Tape, newspaper, cardboard stuffed in front of radiator to keep it clean.

    I would try plasti dipping the hubcaps if i didnt have these rims.
