Welcome, couple of quick thoughts right off the top, in no particular order, no offence intended, but you asked. Lol first up, congrats, nice ride, wouldn't it have been easier and less expensive/time consuming to just buy a black car? Second, if you're getting paint work done, why bother shooting the wheels with a spray bomb in an underground parking garage? Third, maybe next time let your camera or phone warm up after you come in from the cold, a couple of those pics are pretty foggy, and I'm guessing that's the cause, only because I've done the exact same thing. Good call on the stripes, matte black on jet black looks sweet, no sure if lol be doing those in the parking garage as well? Kidding.

@apocalypse pony.. Thanks for your input I appreciate it. I probably should have been more clear I actually got a dent in the side of my car (hit and run) and and the car itself was stoned chipped a lot at the front end from highway driving. I always wanted to re paint it do when I was actually serious about it I started looking at stang ideas online and found exactly what I wanted mine to look like and that's why I ended up getting the whole car re painted. But I know what you mean buying a black one a few years ago would have been way easier. The reason why I painted the rims is I didn't want to by any chance at all over spray on to the car after I got it freshly painted. I'll also be honest the rims were more of like a last minute thing me and my buddy thought of doing.. For now just until I get my Shelby rims. And that's my phone the back camera is cracked unfortunately however my other friend came later and saved the day by taking pictures with his phone haha.

Well, where I was going, was that if you were getting the car professionally painted, why not just get them to paint the wheels as well? Seems to me you'd get better results from a shop than a spray bomb in an underground parking garage, but that's just me, you do what works am I right?

Oh I definitely know what you mean. Paint shop would definitely equal way better results. I didn't really think that one the two much. They're doing me a bit of a favor and there painting my entire car as well as putting on the mat black stripes all for $2800 do i guess I just didn't really wanna push it with them. But I guess I could've at least seen how much they'd charge me for painting the rims. Non the less hopefully I get my other rims soon I'll be sure to post pictures of those once there on. My neighbor has those rims I his 2010 gt and they look magnificent!
