Its a nice color. But no offense, I hate black power-coated stock wheels. It makes it look cheap. But to each his own. Get a new sport bumper! That would look nice since they don't make an Athens Blue sport anymore..

The grille is black but its only in one of the pics, the pictures don't look anywhere near as good as in person. As for more black I am planning on doing the headlights black and do the brake calipers blue most likely. And yes I like in The Woodlands.
i have seen the car a few time, even before you powder coated the wheels. it looks very good in person. where did you get the wheels powder coated i need mine done in graphite?

I got them done at Wheels America in Houston I think they were about $550. I got the grille, spoiler, and emblems painted from Kustom Werx in Oak Ridge, and my intake and exhaust from Woodlands Performance and Suspension. No complaints at all but the center caps were not powered coated, just painted, so after a few times after getting the tires changed or checked the black on the center caps chipped a little but I just used some touch up paint and it looks just like new. And they did tell me in advance they don't usually do them because of that but it was either leave it all silver or try the black. The hardest part of it all was finding the black lug nuts. I've also seen another Athens blue with mods in town, it was debadged and had the hks exhaust and I'm sure more.
