Man, you're way ballsier than me. My car needs paint but I don't think I can stomach spending double (including body kit, of course) blue book on that element.

Nice.... The Jade is a tad dark for me but still a head turner when done right. Eleven coats is outstanding and it should look spectacular.

i have 19" privats right now. but xxr just sent me some free wheels they want me to use. they are 20 x11 rears and 20 x9 fronts. i'm seriously thinking of airbrushing them after seeing that airbrushed tundra on youtube.

I love the Classic Green Pearl. I had my car repainted two years ago. Have gotten many compliments on the color.
