Rep Power: 317 thanks for all the comments keep em coming !!!!
these are the rims im going with for now they are 19s
as for the paint cost
this is NOT including the silver,white or clear.
Just the color cost $550 a gallon (what the body shop said anyway)
it took a little more then a pint to paint just those parts so far....
expensive yes but i hope its worth it when its done.

Wow.. looks like it's going to be one very nice paint job.
After all that, I'd be afraid to drive the car anymore! My front end is dinged up with rock chips everywhere. I think most of us have that problem... bad paint chipping on the front end.
Can't wait to see it when it's done!

Orange seems to be the custom color of choice on our 7thgens right now. I think if I was gonna get my car painted....I would probably do that olive green color that you see on a lot of EGs.
