Well anyways.... on topic....
I was going to do mine green like yours but I ended up choosing Gold (see page 39 for pics)
I guess my concern was whether or not it would look "professional". For instance, I didn't want to roll to work and be that guy.
Cause I couldn't decide whether to get green or gold but decided on gold since you actually see some cars stock with gold.
Do you get a lot of stares, etc? Cause I like to be subtle with my stuff. :D
Oh and do you have a problem with brake dust? My wheels in the front are almost black now. It's kinda gross. But I just don't have a time or place to clean them here at college

Well i dont even have that car anymore but yea i did used to get alot of stares.
Driving down the highway, slammed, with green rims, throwin sparks. haha
Id get alot of thumbs up from older dudes.
I never really had that bad of brake dust. I used the same sponge and water/soap solution to clean the rims as i did did my car. Then when i was done i would use QuikDetail on the whole car and rims. If they got dirty i could usually rims them off with the hose. There would still be some dirt just not as much.
