I agree with the wheel part.

Right now are the spokes satin with a polished hoop? I'd like that.

Just IMO..Since you asked..I would go black as well. Jeff has mentioned that to me as well. It will look awesome on your car Jody. One thing I would do, which you may be doing already, is to run the wheelwell opening moldings. It will brake everything up. Not to mention it will tie in with the polished hoops on the wheels. Like Nike says..."Just Do It"

Either way will look great but shiny aluminum or chrome is more traditional. Black will make more of a styling statement. Hell, Steve Strope went with White on the GTX-R. I wouldn't go that far. But for a minute there, I almost did this:
Check out how the red wheel overlays against the "Olds 442 W-30" inspired stripe. Maybe my next car.

Anyone can build a Nash Metropolitan and be different. The real challenge comes from making a popular platform like the Camaro look different and still be cool.

Jody, with the brake rotors, side markers, hoops, SS emblems all similiar color and the rest black it will IMO look awesome. It will be unique and a very special car - also I would IMO try and have a color theme in the engine compartment that is simple but flows. I'm really excited to see it, of course it's your decision. Man its great spending other peoples money!!

Well, I am glad you are considering it Jody, like I said, it is merely a suggestion, I have no more money to build another car, so I have to push my ideas on other people and live vicariously through my friends!! :p

Actually, what the rendering really doesn't show, or at least not in as much detail, is like what was previously mentioned, you will have window trim, door handles, billet sidemarkers etc...all of these will break up the "black", especially when you brush all of the exterior trim on the car, it will look like stainless...oh wait, did I say brush all of the exterior trim? That was my second suggestion So many ideas, so little money to execute them..story of my life.

BTW, I already started picking names for your car: Darth Vader,Black Plague, Project Satan, well, ok maybe not that one...how about, "The Black Hole", Project Blackout...etc etc....Yeah, I know, don't quit my day job. :o

Well guys, I've pretty much made up my mind to do it. The car will be in paint in 2 weeks so I'll post up some pics when it's back together and you can tell me if I made a mistake!

Default Hey!

Don't blame me!!!!...J/K...look on the bright side, if you hate it, you can unbolt those tasty three piece wheels and have the center stripped....
