Wheels came out really good. Did you paint them yourself or have a shop do it?

Damn that looks baller. I plan on getting my stock wheels powdercoated this summer.

Minus the wheels and a few other things, our cars are pretty much twins.

Yup I have all of my interior lights with LEDs. They are so much better than the nasty ass stock yellow bulbs.

Looks great but the center caps need to be painted also. Drop her, she needs it.

I dont know how I feel about all black wheels on any car. I think it just looks like you are riding on steel winter wheels or something. But it does look like the job was done really well.
