Thanks for cleaning this thread, there one particular person that posts nothing but trash..

Thats neat place for a gauge, there is alot of room in that cubby area.
For that color tC I would recommend a tC debadge and very light smoked taillights. [not super dark]
I'd like a side-shot with the windows tinted. Or they just dont look dark in the photo [second from the bottom].

You can; but the stock rim color looks good with your car color. I assume you mean regular black spray plastidip. I wouldn't take that jump. I don't believe flat, matte black will flow right with your setup. So i'm going to save you alot of time and say don't do it.
If your have a PlastiDip itch then just do your emblems and stuff.

Yea, also in the case you decide to sell your OEM rims you'll be all set. Can't wait to see the new wheels.

I prob won't sell them cuz they will winter tires. New rims aren't for awhile but I'm thinking titanium paint with baby blue lip
