thanks bro...that sexxy wdp is gettin there...

1. flat black...satin black...glossy black is played out..(they all the same)
2. i want to keep that stocky look...so idk about the sidemarkers..
3. the gunmetal looks dark anyways..it goes with the flow of the roof and trim peices..

love what youve done, but are you really sticking with the stock rims? cf roof calls for something more than that, otherwise it just wont look right imo.

Hurry up and post some pictures so I can nominate your car for Car of the Month. You have until the 15th. But if you don't no big deal. There is always next month.
