OK, this is a follow-up to my previous Repaint: Electric Blue Pearl thread.
.
.
.
So I got the paint-job done and left it de-baged as well for a cleaner look. Then I added some more mods...
.
.
.25mm Wheel Spacers:
.
.
.
.
.
And I ordered some color-matched side markers to replace the stock orange ones...
.
.
.
.
.
And I replaced the super-duper-smoked tail lights with stock ones because the previous owner had sprayed about twelve too many layers of tinting onto them and I was sick of getting pulled over by the fuzz every week...
.
.
.
.
.
And finally, I ordered a new set of 18" x 9.5" Konig Lace wheels, and had them powder-coated metallic silver because I hate black rims (except on rougher off-road vehicles like lifted jeeps, trucks, etc. - but on cars I just can't see why someone would pay thousands of dollars for custom rims that are basically invisible and where the lip usually just ends up looking like part of the tire).
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And the wide wheels with their +45mm offset, plus the 25mm wheel-spacers give it a nice stance, although I may have to roll my rear fenders eventually...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Additionally, although I had not previously realized it, the previous owner had put 235/40/R18 tires on the rear, but 225/40/R18 tires on the front - resulting in an accidental and unforeseen progression into "stretch" territory on the front wheels... :/

Not near as loud/ricey as it used to be, but much cleaner. Whaddya think?
