That's actually the wheel 06 xA/xB's come stock with now. It isn't wrapped in the fake leather tC's have though.

If you need an extra set of hands, give me a call. Tim should have my #.

Also if you haven't seen this already:

thanks tu! i was going tolook for a write up, i didnt think it would be too terribly hard. if we run into problems we'll deffietly give you a call.

its purdy.......very purdy.......

Very nice, I am left the PIAA guy a couple of messages. I hope he was just on vacation and not ignoring me.

Looks great Nick, now you need to buy BCS's 18" gold works rims, would look great on there.

So could I ask how much this put you back?

I am pretty sure he painted it all himself. So, cost of the paint right Nick?

I wonder how people do this? Is this done in ones garage? What kinds of equip go into painting a car oneself?

I met a guy at the Lakewood SummerFest who was on his 11th paint change (because he just 'gets bored').

Its the Honda Civic in Benilda's pics that has the blue/purple/diamond plate pattern.

It seems like it would be so hard to do and I envy honey0bucket for being able to do it so professionally and all by himself!!! GREAT JOB - it looks very sexy!!!

Nick works in the body/paint shop of a major dealership in the PDX area.

Nick - looks really good! Cant wait to see it sunday

reminds me of my old color except flipped!

i have an 06 and i dont have that steering wheel

So could I ask how much this put you back?

$271.97 and 3 days of work in a 100+ degree shop/paint booth. I do work in a bodyshop , landmark ford (off I-5 in tigard) if i would have paid to have it done...2500+ easy.

Im not buying BCS's wheels because ijust want some five spokes that i can color match EXACTLY :lalala:

wanna paint my car for 500? come on you know you do.....

hmm you must have gotten yours when the 06's were just coming out. That sucks if they didn't put one in yours since the steering wheel controls only work on the 06 stereos.

edit: I did some searching and I guess there's 2006 and 2006.5 which is $150 more and comes with the new steering wheel. I hate it when auto makers have mid year updates.

nice two tone great job!!!

I'll give you 750 to paint mine
