Ahh I bet you love the feeling of watching a transformation.

Do us all a favor though. PLEASE do aftermarket wheels RIGHT NOW. It absolutely abhor cars with stripes and stock (especcially 16") wheels.... You need the wheels to compliment the awesome paintjob & profile you'll have with the speedster look.
