Looks good, but I am part of the crowd that thinks the Rockstars look better on lifted truck with bigger tires. But if you want a wheel with a large opening, you need to paint the calipers.

Thanks for the comments guys...
The only 2 things left to do for now are the DSG inlays in the emblems and tinting the fog lights.

Front windows are not tinted.
I want to do the fogs, but not sure which method.
Tint, nightshade or paint the chrome color black inside?
Any suggestions????

I'd go with nightshade. I think it will match your heads better than the rest. tint will look more black as nightshade you can get a more DSG color if done right. Paint just doesn't seem like it would work as well. And technically aren't you dark shadowing graying it out? the only black is your rims/tires and badges ;D

Actually I blacked out:
* emblems (badges)
* rims
* toolbox
* side stepbars
* fuel cap
* head lights
* tail lights (smoked)
* FX4 decals

But I agree with you that nightshade is the way to go.

Great job, man, huge improvement. I bet you get a lot of heads turning your way when you drive by.


Your FX4 decal looks low. Did you measure the stock FX4 decal location before taking them off?

You are right mblouir. I had them put on by the guy that powder coated everything for me. They're too low and in my opinion too small.
I'm either going to take them off all together or get some satin black FX4 decals. Any suggestions on where to look for these?

Normally I'd say Patriot Decals, but they can't do the FX4 decals anymore (at least I don't think). Your best bet would be to just start Googling "FX4 black decals".
