I can get them all day long for that.. I just buy the ripped up leather set for about $100 with panels and the upholstery set cost me about $350, maybe less so I guess around $500 would be a closed estimate. But it takes a whole day for me to install them then let them sit out in the sun for a day and youre good to go.. If I knew for sure I could sell them for more, Id give a couple of colors a try. haha

Do you really want to paint it silver?? I would suggest more of a graphite color, but in red looks great too!

Well i was thinking maybe there was too much red but Ill wake up tomorrow and my opinion will change... Im just trying to make it different but not so far over the top that it loses its factory styling. Id like it to be completely custom but still look like the factory could have made it that way. The hood got away from that a little I think but if you ask me, that will be one thing that will ensure I dont look like 99% of the T/As out there...

Thats exactly what Im going for in my car. To create the impression that it came directly from the factory.

The wheels in my car match so well the styling of the car, IMO. I thought about changing them but instead Im in the process of restoring the damn wheels. I spent 4 hours taking away the clear coat, and polishing the lip. It looks awesome but its so time consuming

Anyway take care of that car and good luck!

they will order them for you and theyre like $6.29 a can plus tax.. thats waaay cheaper than any other place. Most guys get it online and pay double that or more... I just tested it on some plastic, it does peel pretty easy, and residue can be taken off with a pressure washer or a sponge and cold water... I think im about to have some satin black C5 skinnies.. haha

What do you think...it took time but is worth it. I hope the next will be easier. I polished only the lip been vary careful not to damage the wheel's face.







Sorry for the pics but yo get an idea. Once I finished I will take better pictures.

^^^ I thought about it but decided to keep them. Taking them would ruin the "personality" of the car.

I decided it and followed through, wish I didn't.

Probably end up with some ccw classics.
