Did the shop paint the door jambs and under the hood too for that price? We're thinking about eventually repainting one of our two xB's, but want a complete color change so it looks factory.
If so, what did they do about the vin # stickers on the doors, etc?

no.. i did not have the door jams or under the hood painted. doesn't matter. im not planning on selling it or anything. i didn't care about doing the door jams and all. oh well lol i dont know if i will lower it because its already scraping with the new bumper i have... if i had the stock one then i would thats why im looking more into the air bags.

i say rims and lowering go hand in hand. do them both at the same time. rims will run you at least $800 and some S-Techs or DF210s are both $150.

so once you have $950 to spend... do both :-)

God took great care of that one (smile) Cost $1500 to repaint y car insurance paid it all. My deductible was $250 since it was under comprehensive not collision ins. Keep smiling and maybe you'll see someone get evicted too!!!!!!
