I'd get the motor put in before you get it painted...you never know when some mechanic could accidentally drop a wrench on your fender...

Well if I go with another color I won't be able to match the bay too it if the motor is in... I think CMS know what they are doing and know I am having the car painted before I take it to them. They will take care of my car and I trust Ryne
