Quick question,
when changing the color of a car, do you have to re-register it for the new color???
love that color choice BTW.

I guess I would have to call the DMV to find out because I changed the color of my car from pearl white to BMW 668 black...
i hope its not a major issue IE tickets,re-registration fees etc.

I don't think you would have a major issue seeing as to how your paint was already a dark color to begin with, but I may have a problem If I get pulled over. My reg says white. If anybody knows for sure please chime in.

Me too! Looks like its going to be tomorrow but they said they are pushing for today. we will see. I am going to take it out and do a photo shoot right away! There will be finished products of door jams and in trunk, under hood etc. These guys are doing a great job so far and I would recommend them to every one in the dfw area.
