New tints and gunmetal wheels

[fahrenheit955]

So I haven't been on audizine in a while due to school and going on vacation so I thought I would post what I recently did to my a4. I powdercoated the rims to the gunmetal color which I had a lot of help from a good friend. We chemically stripped the old paint off so no chipping would occur with the new paint. After that, I got the windows tinted. The percentage on the tints are 35% which in PA cops won't bother you about. Feedback is appreciated. Here are some pics:

Paint your lowers :)

Add a lip spoiler ( if you like)

Clear corner

And it will perfect.

I love the tints what kind of tints are they ? I will be getting my tints soon

35% light going through or 35% light blocked?

What product did you use for the wheels?

Looks good

[trapped]

True that... put on the S4 lip and the clear corner and that will look very nice. I like the wheels as well!

[manhertm]

Looks good, do away with the chrome grille accents.

PA cops do care about 35%...even when youve worked with them for the past 3 1/2 years...well, certain ones..car looks great. I just got done last week re-finishing my sports in silver using duplicolors wheel coating..the shit works awsome, imo.

I am planning on adding the lip spoiler, as for painting the lowers, I thought about it but I really like how the wheels match the lowers perfectly.

I think 35% going through, I had them professionally done. As far as the product, I used rust-o-leum spray cans from wal-mart, the color was called charcoal metallic. Me and my friend also used etching primer and clearcoat.

Thanks for your feedback, I have had mixed opinions on this matter , I might get rid of them in the future, but for now I really like how it adds contrast to the car.

i hate unpainted lowers but yours dont look bad with the rims
not feelin the grill either

[kwimberly]

The wheels matching the lowers was one of the first things I noticed - I like it.

Lose the bottle in the cupholder though - dangerous spot!

HAHA get the hell out I just did the same on my wheels, but my body is that gorgeous candy apple red they made back then. I totally agree with the unpainted lowers, it makes the car look like there's just a nice line along the bottom with the wheels that colour. I was hesitant at first but I love it, I wish I had some way to powder coat mine, mine are getting chipped :(... You know what you gotta do now, find yourself some nice 2000 to 2002 HP2 calipers off an S4, paint em black and squeeze em in there, it looks sick :P
Maybe I should post some pics of mine too

[UnkleGatsby]

[illaudiill]

Once its lowered it will look really tough. Leave the lowers as is.

grille looks awesome man! i think it's the perfect balance, but if u had chrome mirror covers then u'd really be set!

[0330QA4]

Car looks good

btw tint is like the work deer. dont put an 's' on it. Not sure why this is happening all over car forums but stop it.

[b6onboost]

^ thank you. its tint not tints.

[akaEsCo01]

Don't paint your lowers unless you are planning on switching wheels. I usually am not a fan of unpainted lowers, but when you wear it as good as you do, then you have to keep it. You and Sleepy 1 make it look good.

Hahahaha, I had no idea it was THAT big of a deal, I hardly noticed myself, but thanks!!!

Working on it..... its on the list that is, I wanna get a europlate first, then maybe a lip spoiler. Eventually i'll get the mirror covers.

[jaketone]

Wow.... OK I had a n00b moment, which i'll admit I still kinda am a n00b with things, we did rattle can them, but we chemically stripped the previous paint off, my bad on that. Thanks for the correction.

Here's some of mine, it's got regular OEM springs and dampers so try to ignore that it looks like its on stilts :P
