This whole not-a-black car thing is still new to me. Having trouble - a4darkness 2010-03-16 14:20:51 (6 views) I think the gunmetal looks better than matte black against DG - GDawgA4 2010-03-15 21:08:45 (4 views) Agreed. But I have a question for you. In your 'DIY: Re-finishing your wheels' thread... - a4darkness 2010-03-15 21:20:07 (12 views) Yup, there is a easy explanation for that.
