    blacked out front rings

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    how do you guys feel about it? i blacked out the s-line badge while i was at it too.

    -i did it with plasti-dip and it is a flat black color to match the inside part of the front grille.
    -taking off the yellow fog film, because its giving the car a cheap look

    blacked out looks good. i would've just removed the s-line badge though. and def support removing the yellow fogs.

    keep up the good work, car is hot.

    I would have kept the red on the S-line badge, but otherwise, looking good!

    Re: blacked out front rings

    Too much black for my taste (coming from the guy who has blacked out everything else on his car). I'm colormatching my front rings in the near future and I've got something up my sleeve for the "quattro" badge. We'll see how it turns out...

    Re: blacked out front rings

    thanks for the input so far guys...

    -you can't take the s-line badge off and just leave it without one. the s-line badge clip/holder is still there in the grille so it would show.
    -i've been thinking about keeping the red flag in the s-line badge or maybe even doing a white flag..or a white emblem with a black flag. alot of ideas.
    -definitely getting rid of the yellow fog film

    could use more input

    I'm not usually a fan of blacked out rings but it works on your white car. I say leave the S-Line badge black too.

    Re: blacked out front rings

    wow, i really thought you could unclip the thing that holds the s-line badge. but a little white paint on there would look sweet.

    just noticed the blacked out sideviews... that's sick!

    Looks really nice!!

    I was thinking of doing this myself on my Ibis b7 (painting my S-Line grille, chrome border, filler plate, and rings)....does it come out well when you do it yourself or should I give it to a shop and have them paint it?

    Re: blacked out front rings

    Did you black out the rings on the back of your car?

    I want to black out the rings on my grille, but I haven't decided if I want to go through the hassle of blacking out the rings in the rear too. Espeically because I'm having a hard time picturing blacked out emblems on a white car. It's different when it's blacked out on the grille IMO.

    Re: blacked out front rings

    -yeah i need alittle bit more contrast on the grille...i was actually thinking of doing a white s-line with the red flag. i think it would look pretty hot.

    -and i didnt blackout the back rings..im still thinking about whether i should do it or not. it's way different when its blacked out on the grille.

    Re: blacked out front rings

    for blacking the Sline emblem.

    Blacking rings out may be OK, even I am not a fan.

    If you hate chrome (may be almost all of us do), you can get your rings painted in a matte silver finish.

    Some times, over "cleaning" or "shaving" our cars, can give them a cheaper look.

    I think.

    Re: blacked out front rings

    i agree with casuso. looks either like the front end is is really dirty or waiting to be sprayed. to each his own though..

    Re: blacked out front rings

    i agree with you guys on the s-line badge...i got something coming for that..and i might go over the front rings with some gloss black spray paint to give it a finished look

    just ordered a whole new set of s-line badges- 1 front grille and 2 sides
    heres some ideas i came up with

    1. white with the red flag or black flag
    2. black with the red flag or white flag
