A while back I posted asking peoples opinions on white lettered tires on their stangs. I would say about 80% of people thought it was a dumb idea. What I decided to do sounds a bit silly, but I went for it anyway. I bought a little white tire pen just to see what it would look like on my stock 18" g-force BFG's. So far all I've had time to do is fill in the g-force part and it looks KILLER! I understand putting some tire paint on a $30k car sounds CHEAP, but after a second coat I think it'll look ridiculous....(in a good way). It takes a lot of time however to make it look like it's meant to be there and not smeared on there with a piece of chalk. With that said, I'm expecting about 8 hrs to do all 4 with a couple coats. After I have completed my little project I will try post some pics to show you guys and gals what I'm talking about.
Everyone has their own opinions, but I have a hard time understanding yours if you don't think this looks NASTY COOL! If you disagree with me, I accept your opinion and realize we're all driving sweet cars anyway!
This car is still making me smile!!!

RE: Ya'll were wrong about the white-lettered tires
As far as I'm concerned, retro is retro, so I don't see how anyone can make issue with your idea. I'd love to see some pics when you're done. Maybe you'll start a trend in the industry back to the future LOL.

RE: Ya'll were wrong about the white-lettered tires
What I used to love about the white-lettered tires was watching them spin. I will obviously not be able to post a pic of them spinning, but when I came out of a restaurant today and saw my car there....I almost wet myself. It looks HOT spinning...or sitting still!

Took some pics this evening after my hard work. I'm very happy with how it came out. Let me know what you guys think.
Also, my time estimate was a little off. Once I got the hang of it and got my pen working good, you can cruise along and takes about 15-20 min. per tire.

I'm having a terrible time trying to crop my pics down to a reasonable size. I can try email a pic to someone if they can figure out how to get it to an allowable size. In the meantime I've added some very cropped pics that don't show the whole car.
