Strangely enough, I'm really feeling the green...
It's going to be the new hotness!

And here's a note that someone left on my friend's car.

Gavin@MMW · 01-11-2011, 01:46 PM

I love the green

It would look mean on a black car also

SV Concepts III · 01-11-2011, 03:07 PM

Hah that note is great, glad your friend can take the comments in stride. I like the look personally and think it's unique.

yujis335i · 01-11-2011, 06:25 PM

Hahahaha... Thanks Serious for putting that pic up of the post-it!!!
That was comedy... I knew going into it that there would be people who obviously wouldn't like it but eff it... you can't please everyone, all the time.

Thanks guys for the comments..

Great that you friend is modding the way he likes, not what everyone else wants.

Javier · 01-11-2011, 07:25 PM

looks kinda cool

Wonka · 01-11-2011, 07:25 PM

That's quite wild.

PeteW84 · 01-11-2011, 09:34 PM

different...

koreez88 · 01-12-2011, 03:37 AM

I like it! Unique to say at least, and I think it looks great!

BMWsky · 01-12-2011, 08:50 AM

Although not my cup of tea, it kind of grows on you. I could see AW or black cars with custom colors like that.

DrDurt · 01-12-2011, 09:20 AM

I saw a new white evo with some green OZ's on it, looked sick. Looks cool man!

joed1 · 01-12-2011, 09:44 AM

Green is the new black?

Never would have even considered this, but looks good. Definitely a conversation starter.

ianbiz · 01-12-2011, 10:21 AM

love it!

mike-y · 01-12-2011, 11:02 AM

this look has been very popular on japanese cars for a while now. do a search for "takata green"

Silver3s · 01-12-2011, 11:12 AM

Don't get the umpa lumpa comment, they were orange.

dlouie87 · 01-12-2011, 01:05 PM

Awesome note. hahaha

Agreed, as much as it has grown on me, I wouldn't be able to run those for a few reasons. I couldn't handle the stares and the chuckles of people who just don't "Understand". Also, my wife would set the car on fire if I decided to powder coat the wheels green.

Maybe I'll plastidip my wheels in green so I can scare the crap out of my wife.

But just looking at the pic again, I think the reason why I like it is because the green shows off the stance of the car. The fitment is pretty nice, the green also freshens up an all too common mesh wheel. Not that there's anything wrong with it, if there was, it wouldn't be so popular.

This is true, but their hair was green... Or maybe their blood is green. We'd have to ask the person who wrote the note why they wrote what they wrote.

I like it alot....I would do the mirrors green, or the base of the mirrors green, and maybe the BMW emblems green too. Ive seen an M with red csl's and the inside bumper air ducts were trimmed in red, maybe the same would work on this car.....props for being unique.

I appreciate all the comments guys!

Being that I go through wheels quite often, I don't think Ill be changing any of the body parts to anything other than a "safe" black.

My next set of wheels is already getting refinished :-)
