Default Project Blackout

Well I'm finally getting close to the end of the mods for this year. I THOUGHT all I had left was to install my blacked out front end and then after some input from good ole LeoHD (thanks pal) and some quick work in photoshop where I added a set of black Fatcats, well make a long story the Fatcats are coming off fairly soon and going to be powder coated with hi temp material along with hitting the floor board pans and rear brake control. THEN, I'm done.

Present photo (well close)



My photoshop blackout work... this will be the reality before long...



A BIG thanks to Leo as well as others here who've posted some damn fine looking blacked out rides across the forum.

Now we all know leohd is the foremost authority on bling....
BUT...
If you're blacking out the floorboard pans, I think the passenger board covers should get it, too.
Also, have you considered blacking out your timing cover?

Those are the DNA Mammoth spokes. I'd previously run Ridewrights but had been doing alot of research on these wheels when they showed up on fleabay for $850 and just the right time so it was a no brainer. The Ridewrights were considerably more and this go round I went with the diamond cut spokes. Maintenance isn't horrible either amazingly enough.

Yeah, I have the Ride Wright's on my '09 RG that I showed in my 1st post in this thread.
PRICEY!

$850 was a steal for the DNA's.
I've used their wheels before on a chopper, nice wheels!
