murdured riv

so im REALLY gonna do it MOST likely BUT i was wonderin and i looked into it and what would i have to do to Delete the chrome around the wheels and it still look good??????

Why do you want to delete the chrome?

I think you would have the get the chrome pieces painted. Or something molded into the spot where the chrome is.

Unless you want all those ugly clips sticking out.

It would help blur the visual lines between the tire and the wheel gap to the body. You have to use some type of primer used to paint chrome and then you can paint it to match the car. I think it would be best to carefully tape it off and paint it on the car. Those chrome strips bend very easily.

I would take them off and clean them good if you decide to paint them.

i think someone did that once... was it rivman? he had a black riv with black rims and he also blacked out all the chrome on the car.

but IMO i like the chrome :shrug:

I remember seeing that pic too. Don't remember who it was. I think the black on the windows was blacked out too.

I personally like the chrome too. I love chrome.

Well i like the chrome its just that the chrome pieces around the whehls are in bad condition and i dont like em'........... so i wanna take em; off............ would it be safe to BONDO them before paint???????

ok my idea for exterior looks is that black out everything lights tinted windows black rims then paint it a really dark almost black metalic purple leave only the front chrome oval and riv "R" and the r on the back crome and find some nice gnx style vents (functional vents not the stick ons) also some nice hood vents (also functional) and a molded wing one that flows with the shape of the car not some stupid 10 foot talk carbon fiber shit and mabey a blue neon underbody n wheel well kit (i honestly think its neat as hell) of course this is no where close to the top of my prioritys list but just runin it by you guys see what you think

There's a guy here who's got/had a nasty blacked out Riv. He had it for sale a while back.

Neon is pukey.

It would take Chip Foose to design hood vents and a wing that would look good on this car.

yeah i realise finding a nice wing and vents ganna be a pain but ima try

IMO i dont think u will find vents of a good wing that will flow with the lines of the riv, you best but would be to not get them or to have custom work done but i do like your blacked idea, thats what i was going to do just not blacked out headlights

black out would be cool. Like the wildcat riviera concept: black chrome trim, tinted windows.

but I would not bother with port holes, and especially not neons. Riviera's historically had no port holes.

yeah i cant find any that are functional anyways so thats preety much out

wait till you see what im working on in the spoiler depertment if there are any good photo chopers out there im me and maby we can work togeter
oh and im way ahead of you on a black out project the wild cat looks pretty mean

yeah well its not first on my to do list first off is some minor motor mods to the serries one just to get it slightly quicker then a sound system then paint and looks then change out the motor to a serries 2 and do everything i possibly can to it to get every lil bit of hp to it the suspension

so its still got a ways to go considering im brooke

Or neons

ok neons i just like them i think its a neat effect i know its ricey but i do like it

ilike the idea, and i have neons some ppl like tthem and sone dont, but i think they look good on a dark road with no othr lights. thats just my thoughts on it.

i agree i think it would look really really good with functional engin vents and an engine bay light of the same color with a blue hid kit also

can any one photoshop a flat black rivi, with flat black trim, black rims, tinted head/tail lights

haha ROB AND BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MTV show if ya'll didnt know they have a taHOE on 24's FLAT BLACK

they do, they should have got the denali tho

Are their any flushed or murdered out rivi's out their? plz post pics.

Mine's kinda but a true murdered out would be flat black pretty much everything. Mine's all black with flat black accents and black wheels with chrome lips. Meh.. :/
