^^ thanks guys
@virjose, the cost will vary from shop to shop. My body shop charged me roughly $1500 to get everything painted. However, I'm sure I could have found a cheaper shop to do the work, but the quality wouldn't be as good. In the end, you get what you pay for.

Your car looks amazing.
I just got the same car this weekend and this will be my first mod.

I was looking for different paint options since I don't want to paint everything on the bumpers in white like the car.
Thank you

That was exactly my plan, besides I want get the inside to the grill also painted.

This loos amazing but I need also to get rid of the small 18" Bridgestone rft tires. The sound they make is terrible. 20" it will be.
