Hey everybody,
How much is too much matching, in your opinion? For my 09 Monterey Blue base, I am looking to purchase some OEM Nismo wheels and get them powder coated matte black with a body matching rim (example, it would be blue however) and upgrading my base brakes to an OEM sport package BBK, with the calipers body matched blue with matte black Akebono lettering. My car already has the fangs and real valance blacked out, the door handles and emblems painted as well as my headlights blacked out, I also have a BlueBat vinyl overlay for my rear lights and third brake but am debating on those or Night Shading the rears.

Do you think with everything done so far, getting the rims and calipers powder coated would be a bit over the top? I plan on buying the BBK and new rims regardless, its just a matter of to powder coat or not. A picture of my car is below.

*Rim picture is from a thread by Mike and I hope he does not mind me using his picture
