Looks great! Can't quite tell by the door badge - is that a 35i or 50i?
Those orange reflectors really stand out on black - good call getting them painted. I just had painted ones installed on mine and they looks so much better. |

Interesting what you did with the wheels. As style 333 wheels already are painted inside, did you just spray the spokes or did you spray the whole wheel? Looks good.

I knew I wanted to change the wheels, either new or painted. So after looking around and finding the Anthracite gray metallic Plasti-Dip, I figured it would be the cheapest easiest test. Took all 4 wheels off and sprayed them on the ground, face up, used 3x5 cards to masked tires. Lots of videos of the process. Turned out way better then i thought it would, I think i would have them powder coated the same colour and I did them for about $50. I have some photos of the process, but basically, Clean, Spray from the front, getting full coverage in the spokes, I used the clear or glossifier. IMO it helps to protect it from possibly getting marred.

That's the great thing about plasti-dip, comes right off if/when I get sick of it or just want to try another colour.
I took this interior shot, not the greatest, I'll try to get a better one. Pretty typical for interior, only non-common item is the leather dash. Which i really like BTW. |
