Default wheel well

so i was just wondering... well i got some black fr500's for my 98 and now i really notice the inside of the wheel well. so can i like just paint the inside of that or something. like a satin black. i think that that would look alot better.

on a related note i have a gravle drive way and my treds are always grey with dust. the tire shine says not to put it on the tred so idk what to do.

thanks guys.

they sell stuff at auto parts stores that you can spray in there and it will make it black and it will hold up better then paint, i forget what its called.

the tire shine stuff is meant for your tire wall...not the tread..the reason is you will lose traction very easy because the stuff is very slippery

when i put it on my tires, i drive the car aggressivly on turns so that i can get the overspray...as i do that, i do slide a lot.. but after its off it smooth sailing from there on out.

You need a better tire shine.

Tire shine in the wheel wells works wonders...works well in the engine bay as well

Use cheap tire spray for your wheel wells and gas tank. Have you lowered your car yet? That usually hides your wheel wells :-P.
