They are about to start painting the color on my car(finally) I decided to keep it black. They are painting in the door jams and everything, as i paid for them to do a two tone red knight job. But it turns out they dont want to fool with painting a Carbon fiber hood. SOOOO im leaving it black with a carbon fiber hood, black grille, black housing headlights with hood pins that I might paint black. I kinda have a lil theme goin on. I will post pics soon. My car really looked crappy...my trunk had a big dent in it, i had to put a new rear bumper on it, the body underneath the bumper and trunk was pushed in(the trunk was hard to close. I had various chips and dings everywhere, and of course, my hood latch ripped out and busted my windshield and dented the roof in 4 places. In all this job was 5k...its being done by the most reputable shop around here(CLAYTONS AUTO BODY). ive had a truck painted there and it came out better than new. hope they read these kind words so they will do me another good job LOL

Seriously tho im just ready for it to be done and this post really shows that. i just noticed cuz none of you asked for an update on my car lol

also, since we are talking wheels, I have not seen another set of these anywhere! They are made by Team Dynamics and they were new for 06, but they arent even on their website! anyone ever seen or heard of rims like mine?

I don't think they look like crap. They're great rims. However that being said I don't think they do your car as much justice as many other wheels could.

Back on topic, I wish I had the money for a new paint job. I got knicks like new york, dings like a doorbell, scratches like a scratch off lotto tickets and dents like a honda... I need to get my crap fixed up! I was actually thinking about if it ever happens doing a two tone blue and black liek you werethinking. Something like that chopped picture of a two door '07 camry that was posted on here.

Anywho, good luck with the paint, and post up some pics ASAP when it's done.
