Also, did lime green to. Dont like it as much as teal.
lol nice you even kept the rock as a souvenir

IMO, neither. ditch the ROTAs all together if you can. I'd say a dark graphite/gun metal or light satin bronze would look good with that color. The other 2 look like skittles.

The teal looks better than the green.
The green is just too much.

Still undecided. I would like to ditch them. I've had them up forsale for months now. When tax time rolls around I'll get new wheels for sure.

Got my car back today. Check out my old oil pan.

Lip and bumper are both good, no damage. They were able to salvage the strainer. New OEM oil pan and gasket.

I don't know how that rock could fit under there. Mine don't have a lip kit and that thing would smashed my front bumper.
Well,I guess you got pretty lucky with only 100 pan.
But,you need a luck charm or some shit man.
How bad was the damage to the strainer ?
If the rubber gasket is not fully seated or their is a crack you will have low oil presure.

Not even a minute. As soon as I hit the rock the oil light came on luckily I was the right lane so I pulled over and shut it off.

Black roofs are nice on certain cars. The CL is not one of them. The run channels on the roof does not meet up with the edge of the windshield. It looks out of place. IMHO of course.

The hood is probably misaligned slightly from the accident.

I think the white looks perfect, but I'm a fan of colors that pop as well. I think some nice quality colored lug nuts in one of those colors you chose would give you that look without being overboard.
