i'm saving my thoughts till i actually see it on the car. I like when people try different things like this.

I'm also a big fan of hoodie's green stockies so i'm down for anything really lol

im also not a fan of the green, although the lime green color was different, i wouldn't rock it but i liked it enough to admire the guys willingness to stand out lol. looks like most people painted them black or some sort of shade of gold/brone

ehh..the contrast would look really funky. I think the brushed aluminum is already pushing it as far as light colors go on FM

Yeah, white on FM would probably be the worst combination. I'd stay away from white unless your car is white. Thats just my opinion though.

Ohh, and heres my painted stocks. Got a full set of stocks + tires with around 10k miles left on the tread for 75$ for all 4.
Had to go pick em up, so I painted them. heres how they look.





turned out better than I expected, though I could have done better. I messed up the center caps so I'm gonna take off the paint on those and hopefully fix them. Otherwise no center caps for me.

anyways, opinions? thanks.

Yeah, i'm thinking about just using the silver caps right now until I get the black ones fixed. And I can't think of any other color that would look good on the lip because of the silver linings on the sides. There would be too many colors, and might be an eyesore.
