lol good looking out. I've painted a few cars before and worked in resto shops for a long time. Pretty familiar with painting and after-paint care. Would have painted it myself if we still lived near my old shop, we moved for the wifes job. Gotta follow my sugar momma

Haha!! I hear that. Folks own a body/mechanical shop. Wizard has a safe after paint product that you can use to protect it in the mean time.. What we use on all of our post paint vehicles..

My wife has been pushing me to open my own shop, but I'd rather not deal with all the crap you get. I'm happy building stuff for friends and such. Much less drama. My old shop owner has been begging me to come back but money isn't good enough at the moment to make the drive worth it.

In your first post I was very "meh" on them..but seeing them on the car in the outside day light pictures, I think they look really good. I'd consider having them widened to 11" or possibly just a 1/2"-1" spacer on the rear to put them flush with the fender. That's the only thing that looks goofy to me is when the back tires tuck far under the fender.

O.P. - I like those wheels. Similar to the other mesh wheels that you see so much on this forum, but just enough difference to make them stand out. And love the new hood - my favorite hood for the Camaros. I would like to check out your ride next time I'm down at the redneck riviera. I used to live in PCB a few years ago, and my sister still lives there in Bay Point. Every once in a while I still go down and take advantage of the free room with her on the weekends. Relatives who live in resort towns!!

I don't see them on their website, but found them on ebay. Here is a link to a tire/wheel package, but the seller's store also has a link to wheels alone. Looks like they are only available in 20".

Ya just gota go to their ebay store and click on the BMW wheels. Those wheels I posted do only come in 20s. I emailed them, it was disappointing.

Thanks man! I was thinking the same thing when they first arrived, I was like "ehh, I hope they turn out good" lol. I'm thinking about spacing them out a tad. I'm not too worried about widening em' though, I went with the same on all 4 corners to keep my street wheels "practical". I do think they would look awesome in a x10.5 or 11" though, it's something to keep in mind down the road.

Thanks alot! Ya that'd be cool. Get in touch with me next time your heading this way. I like the hood too, I personally like it most on the darker colors though. I think the hood and wheels make it different while still looking pretty good. Took a few pics on my way to work today. Didn't get to break out my new Canon SLR yet though.

I think you might be biased haha, I've been thinking the same thing though since I got it back. I originally wanted a SOM car, then started thinking about the stealth grey metallic. But the NBM is growing on me.

I'm actually not too biased. There are many other colors that I'd rather have my car, but the one you posted is not something I'd rather have over NBM.
