Wondering what this would look like?

Im getting my inspiration from this, except not the whole wheel, i just want the lip. Toyota Supra: New pictures =D - Houston-Imports.com

The last pisture is my "photoshopped" version, and it looks like SHIT. Some one please do me a better job. And it doesnt particularly have to be on that picture, as i stole it of google images anyway, and i think itd look better on a white dsm as well.

Personally both look hideous.

If you really like the idea instead of doing a full lip just do a small stripe like this(click for a larger image):

I dont care for the blue strip, it doesnt match with the car. maybe if the car was white it would more.

Kinda clashes with the Red tails, and doesnt look as aggressive as red.


The black and blue, looks pretty decent though.
 
I feel that you would need some nicer aftermarket wheels to pull the blue lip off. Wouldnt look good with the stock wheels

I agree. I also don't think it would good on that car unless the the wheels were black.

Agreed with both of those statement, although i think polished aluminum spoke with the blue lip would look the best. Im not a big fan of black wheels.
 
black rim + the blue lip would look better than white with a blue lip:thumb:
 
I think they look pretty nice!
 
I think personally if any lip is going to be painted it should only be done on a high offset wheel with a large lip, otherwise just go with a strip or don't do it at all. Car looks good as is.
 
Here's what mine look like...

Thanks, like u said, its nothing to crazy. I didn't want like an aqua blue as it would stick out like a soar thumb. Some under hood stuff is blue and so are my calipers so i figured why not.
 
I saw some Rays Gram lites that were gold with blue accents on them and they were pretty sweet looking, I am looking into getting a set.
 
Thanks! It's something not to many people around here have, so i figured id give it a shot, and liked it.
 
Personally I think it looks terrible unless the wheels are black... Or your car is white.
