Or, since she just said they are too expensive, I'm not sure how much it would cost but she could always get some painted or anodized pink, I'm sure I could find some if I looked some more...

anodized would be best, would last longer and could do the plastic bag trick were you put it on the lug so it scratches less.

Do you like the look of the rims you have know, as in the style, cuz you could always get them painted instead of buying new ones...

Anodized is always best, plus it has a nice look to it...and please go further on the plastic bag trick, I'm not sure if I know that one...NVM, your talking about when you take them off...

Yea I am talking about when you take them off and put them on, just put it on the end of the socket or lug nut.

Forget him, tell him you are keeping the rims whether he likes it or not, he has no proof they are his...

Just make sure when you do your calipers that you clean them real well or else the paint won't stick, and also you don't have to take them off if you don't want to, just cover the rotor up with a bag or something, and of course be careful of overspray...

I loved it when I painted my calipers white to match on my car, man it was such a subtle yet significant mod...

Its good to see new faces so excited to mod their own car Even if it is pink....or off red to some... All those things you mention barbie, were my first mods as well I went with a common setup though, Blue and green LEDs. Gotta take my window controls out and send them in to Garage1217 so I can get those swapped. Gotta get some more lights though >_< I wish blue wasnt illegal for the lisence plate

^^I don't think anybody is going to steal your pink. lol It does suck not having money to do what you want, I have too many plans too that I just don't have the money for. Good luck with your car though!
