Check wheelflip.com, they have some pretty good deals on wheels and whatnot. I say go with some mesh wheels on that junk, if you want replicas, the XXR 521's would look amazingly good on your car.

Cost was a little over 5g's. Got everything painted except the engine bay which i kept NBP to keep cost down. Insurance covered about 2800 from the accident. I know i cant go wrong with those companies but i cant see paying north of 3 grand for a set of wheels. you young guys can do that most of you live at home

Gorgeous paintjob, brother...wow. I've often wanted my car to be that color. I'd get it 3M clear bra'd immediately...

Thats amazing. Imo paint headlight and grill to match even engine plastics to match would be cool. But thats my opinion.

I'm not sure if it's from the pic being taken indoors but the headlights look hazed up. Heres a DIY tip for all... Don't waste your time buffing them wet sand with 600 and clear coat them they will look new and last forever. I have done many and they hold up great. Love the car nice color choice!
