i think the wheels are TOUGH!!! love em!!! the pushback comes in that the car came factory with dark wheels so most folks are hesitant to sway from it. funny...EVERYONE would love those on a 2nd gen GS. perception...

Mine was done by Tommy so I'm not sure what he used.. probably the typical high temp paint since its just black. Its the quality of the spray rather than the paint itself I would think

Try the smoke Tamiya or vht paint on your headlights. I think it'll look better than black.

Love the outside the box thinking on the Rotoforms!

Have you thought about upgrading to the 2011 headlights instead of painting the existing ones?

Thanks for the compliments guys... More photos soon. As for the 2011 headlight yes but I would be picky and probably want 2012 because of the led color. I just had a baby this past weekend so gotta be catious on mod spending...

Congrats!

Start saving some cash, depending on your insurance you are gonna be out probably 2-3 grand out of pocket...possibly more.

Look into Recaro car seats.
