Got the new wheels and tires on my '86 Mercury Capri and snapped a few pics to whore out.

Still finishing the wiring... not worth showing pics of that... yawn.

When it gets interesting again, I'll start slapping more pics up for everyone.

Thanks for asking.

That's cool you noticed the 5.0 emblem. LOL. I didn't just spray over it. I removed it, painted it seperately, painted the car, then re-applied the emblem. I got the idea from a late model black Z28 that my buddy owned... it had black emblems from the factory and I thought it looked cool. I wanted the fender painted black under the emblem incase I ever change my mind and want to put a new chrome 5.0 emblem back on.

Ahh, makes sense :) I like it, lol. Ever thought about outlining it in red to match the calipers/interior? or gunmetal to match the wheels?

Hmmm... not a bad idea outlining it in red, I'll have to give that some thought. Thanks Matt.

red would make it stand out too much.

That isn't always a plus.

Sweet. Those Mercurys are slick little rides. I can't remember the last time I saw one in the wild V8 or otherwise.

I like that Mercury hatch. I'll bet that glass would be a bitch to find if you had to replace.

Much of the time less is more.
I say keep the emblem black.

That's why I posted the thread with pics of the three sets of wheels and the three cars... I just couldn't decide. I agree that they would look good on the white car too, but when It's done, it'll get the white set of wheels... for a while, then I'm sure I'll be swapping them with the black car later on. LOL.
