yeah greens def a color that needs the right shade to work. I like the factory green but I figured I was going through all the hassle of painting it might as well try something new. Honestly I don't know of another 4th gen that is Dark Highland Green.

Looks great man, I may have to steal your idea. It looks factory, but has a little custom touch. Leave the black wheels too, it ,akes the car IMO

That seems like a great price if it's quality work.

I'm planning to get my car repainted, along with some miscellaneous body work, whenever I get it up and running. I'm hoping to get the local community college here to do the work. They have some state of the art facilities.
