I was hoping to see what the mirror caps would look like painted to match my wheels? The side shot would work, unless you need something bigger...

Wow, that sounded kinda wrong.

I dipped my wheels recently too, but I went with good ol' black. I was thinking lime green but didn't know if I wanted to pull the trigger on something that bright or not. Oh well, I can always switch later. I wish I had Ti wheels though :(

Looks good StingRay. I need to tint my taillight like you did, I like that.

Sometimes you just gotta dare to be different.

Stingray, love the wheels, tinted lights look good on yours, but with mine being racered, the red tails suit it lol.... Are you wanting the New Black ti wheels?

What kind of head aches would I encounter if I try to tint my tail lights?

Literal head ache!

I'm just kind of scared to do it.

Thanks! Yeah I might still do green since you can paint over Plasti dip with no problems.

I'd like to have the black Ti's, but I'll probably go aftermarket before I spend $300 per wheel on an OEM wheel or whatever Ford is charging for them now.

When I had my 09 I niteshaded them and they weren't too hard to do, but the niteshade faded quickly and I wasn't impressed. So this time I had them prifesionally painted by a friend of mine, and they are fantastic so far. Plus the automotive grade paint shouldn't fade for a long long time.

Imma do mine at some point with niteshades. There are quite a few good youtubes on the process. Lazy is my main impediment.
