Very clean. Don't worry, with that A+ paintjob on your rims I don't think anyone will flame you for it. Pretty well-done dude.

those painted stockies look super fresh!

tint your TBL and i think it will tie the whole back of the car together. are those the release series TYCs? the turn signal is red....i thought only the RS's had that and the regular ones had orange turn signals.

Painted them myself, actually I have to admit that I got the idea from your great pics on this thread a while back... I just decided to give it a little twist by going gold on black.

It took me the better part of a three day weekend, probably because of the gold. I put a lot of time into the prep, and as you know, the masking takes a lot of time.
