from the picture they look quite yellow, but idk if thats the case in person, i think putting a film over it would make it look deeper. are your fogs pretty golden in person?

Yep! Pretty much everything that is not covered by panels is painted; except the engine bay. Going to black out the roof soon.

The paint job was long over due in my opinion, because the old paint was faded and clear coat peeling.

In person they aren't as yellow as the picture, leans towards light green lol. I took it with my iPhone. I will try to get a better picture later.

Looking very nice sir, I also have those same rims sitting in the garage, just contemplating if i want them chromed or black chromed and also waiting to switch them out when I do my Lower ball joints in a couple of months. My vehicle is diamond white pearl and if were to get it painted it would get it that newer white pearl with the bluish hue to it not sure what color it is or what the color code it is either, but I like it.

Thank you very much I believe that color you want is Glacier Frost Mica (074). I went with the Starfire Pearl for this paint job.

Yeah that's true. I'm going to try some yellow tint over the fogs this weekend. Hope the color comes out right.
