I have visions of white, with all the black trim painted gunmetal gray.

That or Day-Glo Green.

You asked for it;



MB Motoring Model 272 - I liked them because they looked like a revolver cylinder from a 5-shot pistol, and they are also very modern design, much like the Lamborghini Murcielago wheels (but with extra cuts down the spokes).

I'll probably be the cheapest one at $850. This didn't include door jambs, or engine bay and did include prep-work and some minor body work (read hatch typical trouble spot). It was a temporary quick-fix and although it isn't a horrible paint job by anyone's standards, I don't expect it to last more than 4 years total (been close to 2 so far).

Mine was probably less than $1600, since that's what the whole car cost on ebay. It's a nice paint job though, metalic paint that has lots of different hues depending on the light.
