That came out very nice. I really like the wheels painted, looks much better than stock grey

well since my brother owns the shop, it didnt cost me anything but materials... But he sanded each wheel down by hand, then full prep and paint. He says that average for the job I got done would be $200 per corner...

Looks good man, the lip kit really sets it off nicely.

What happened to the rear bumper cover though? It looks warped at the trunk lid.

Custom, love the rims and the lip kit. i think only thing needed to really finish it would be to black out the headlights. since the wheels are dark now the blacked out lights would look killer. i have the sterling mist and blacked mine and makes it way nicer
