No I had it done at my local auto body shop. Sorry for the confusion. What I meant is I chose the color from a Toyota paint catalog from the shop. I didn't get the exact paint code from the catalog but I'll check on monday.

The 2011/2012 front end looks so much cleaner without it!
Agreed. I'm planning of doing it pretty soon

Nice wheels dude! How's running 20's on your car? Do your wheels stick out of the fenders excessively?

Thanks man.
Wheels doesn't stick out due to conservative offsets. I have 9 inch wide wheel in the front with a 36mm offset and 10.5 wide in the rear with a 45mm offset.
I have Megan coilovers set to zero finger gap on all corners. I still have to do the front bumper tab relocation and shaved the rear fenders because I'm running 235/20 front and 275/30 rear.
