Got to playing around with Photoshop today, and was curious what you all thought of this potential wheel painting idea?

I "don't not like it" if you know what I mean.. It gives the rays the appearance of having a lip from that angle but I don't think I would spend the money for that and ruin their resale value. Instead of spending a few hundred bucks on that paint job (unless of course you DIY), I would say sell yours for a grand and use that few hundred on top to buy after market rims. Excellent edit BTW

Changed the oil, filled up the gas tank and overinflated the tires. (the tires is just me being anal. They are bald so I really shouldn't care about flat spots.)

Parked her all the way to one side of the garage.

Folded the mirrors in.

Made a sad face as I walked into the house. :(

I'll be removing the battery and finishing up the winter storage next week. I tried to wait as long as possible to put her away but temps below 50, bald tires and 475 WHP make for a bad combo.

Now the long wait for spring begins.......

At first I was like :shakes head:

Then I looked a bit more and I was like :ugh2:

But the more I look, I think you may be onto something there. Maybe if you do the entire center except for the cap. That combined with the lugs being chrome may look good.

Another joy of mid-west living, I guess. She'll be comfy for the winter.

I couldn't handle putting away the Z for winter. I know it's the best thing to do to avoid rust and whatnot but I just couldn't. Thankfully I moved from NY to FL back in 2004

Couple of pics after washing and waxing my car, only thirty minutes passed and it was already getting dusty :(

Very nice pics, Mr. Skeeterbop. Dust is the bane of my existence (well, one of many actually).

The California car duster I have is like therapy for me. You know when you are extremly thirsty and take that first big swig of cool water -- that is the car duster for me. It's like seeing your headlights illuminate your home after a 12 hour drive -- that is how the car duster makes you feel after you use it. Seeing your woman's smiling face at the bottom of the escalator at the airport after a 2 week trip -- that is the car duster.

They are worth it.

Happy if you do this I would paint the center as well. If you wanna know what I looks like for real and havent seen it yet look here-

Yup. Pretty much.

Every year around this time I start to dream about moving south. I can live pretty much anywhere in the country with my current job but I am looking to make a change. Still have to wait a few years before we seriouly consider a move. I guess I'll just have to dream about spring.

Happy - I'd leave it stock. :)

:iagree:

:eek::eek:That's an astute description mon frere!:eek::eek:

Yah, I think it would be moreso in my best interest to leave the stock wheels alone and invest in a new set of wheels.

Thanks for your input guys! :tup:
