fastbird232 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 I want to expand on the whole red/black thing my car has, but I also want torque stars in the worst way. Now, crosslaces have been proven to look pretty good painted black, but does anyone thing torque stars would also look good like that? Obviously, I wouldn't waste a set of chromed ones doing it, but maybe a set of the silver ones, sure. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah just find some that are peeling or rusty.. shouldn't be too hard to find. Sand them smooth and spray away. I think they'd look good. Quote
ToroToro Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Doesn't really sound too appealing, since there isn't a defined lip you could polish to break them up. ALL black would look kinda cheesey IMO. Quote
fastbird232 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 I just realized what I'm going to end up with is basically C-BAD's car as a Grand Am, interior and everything! Is it possible for someone to PS that all black, and also one with a polished lip? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 its not going to look good IMO. Like Toro said, theres nno defined lip on it. It would be like painting the sawblades all black and look like shit. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 I thought you were talking about those Grand Am rims... why you wanna get GP rims for GA? Quote
fastbird232 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Posted August 3, 2006 Because GA rims suck and I miss having a GP. Aside from all that, are there any cooler Pontiac rims than torque stars? Personally, I don't think so. Besides, in my GA "Other Cars" thread I posted a pic of a GA with torque stars, and it looked pretty good. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Doesn't really sound too appealing, since there isn't a defined lip you could polish to break them up. ALL black would look kinda cheesey IMO. That was my first thought as well. Quote
mischief3003 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 I did see a grand prix with powder coated torque stars at Target and i gotta say it looked pretty bad ass Quote
JakeMetz63 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 The Bonneville GXP rims > all other pontiac rims. Quote
slick Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 The Bonneville GXP rims > all other pontiac rims. Definately! Those rims are hot! Quote
97loudcut Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 yeah black torque stars would look like ass chewed up and spit out three times Quote
5speedz34 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 The Bonneville GXP rims > all other pontiac rims. Definately! Those rims are hot! x3 or Grand Prix GXP rims(since the fronts are wider than the rears) Almost any T/A wheels. Quote
fastbird232 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Posted August 3, 2006 I'd snag any nice Pontiac rim. But the Bonnie GXPs might be too much for this little car. Quote
Schudini Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 Is it possible for someone to PS that all black, and also one with a polished lip? Here it is black with polished lip and in every combination of red, black and silver Quote
Schudini Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 The all black did look like crap. I would probably go with the chrome star and lip with everything else blacked out. (the one in the upper right) Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 I actually like these 2... Maybe I just have horrible taste, but then again building a car to be your way is all about your own taste and not the rest of the worlds... Jamie Quote
Schudini Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Maybe I just have horrible taste, but then again building a car to be your way is all about your own taste and not the rest of the worlds... That's exactly right. Quote
fastbird232 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Posted August 10, 2006 Thank you very much for doing those! And I agree; while I do value the opinions here (because a lot of them lead to interesting things I hadn't thought about), I'll paint 'em if I want (and be sure to post pictures so people can bitch about them!). That being said, I like this one: How is that hideous? I think it looks great! Quote
Schudini Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Thank you very much for doing those! How is that hideous? I think it looks great! Your welcome. The polished lip makes all the difference. Maybe black chrome... Quote
fastbird232 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Posted August 10, 2006 Where did the pictures go? Quote
Schudini Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Sorry about that, the server is down. It should be back up tomorrow. Quote
runt Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 I saw the black ones...they looked good IMO! Quote
