Continuation... Decided to do the coil overs next instead of wheels/tires. First photo is after paint/body kit with second photo being after tinting and coil over installation (hard to tell parked on the slope of the driveway but car lowered 2 inches)....
Edit: Added pic with new wheels....

I can't speak for anyone else but I've been watching your car for the longest and am waiting anxiously for you to knock this out of the park. Forget DWP or RSP, this was one of the most underrated (and best) colors for the SC IMHO. I know money doesn't grow on trees but this car deserves a 7-11 stick-up at least.....get to it.

Latest update. First picture is the "before" any of the changes and the next ones are after the wheels/tires were installed last month.... (Bottom pic more recent with the exhaust updated).

Just when i was certain i'd keep this car stock this thread is making me think otherwise. Great job fellas. Even the slightest tasteful mods make a noticeable difference on the SC

I like the rear without the spoiler but have no issue of others that like them on their cars.
The "before" pic really does not show all of the fading and age of the original paint (and this pic was right after a full detail was done).
As for the paint, I have to give all of the credit to Tony Mach, owner/painter at TnT Autobody in Sacramento. He is a true artist and I felt privileged that he painted the car. He matched the original OEM "6M3" color but with several coats of clear brought out the brilliance.
Look up his Facebook site (TNT Autobody Sacramento) and you can see a lot of his work including several of my car in progress in his paint booth (the only SC depicted, BTW....).
