let me guess... wash, clay, 2 step polish (step 2 = paint cleaner/prep), and maybe 2+ layer of sealant? and dressed interior and tires.

Thanks for the kudos. The paint is relatively new, so cleaning was only an application of Maguires NXT. Now I did clay bar the 8 last week....

Your car is SUPER sexy, but honestly I like the stock Vert rims more

You need wider tires :P

Had a local guy (who works for a large body shop) do the work after hours. The shop lets him use the facilities for a small fee. My price ended up around $1500. In any larger city you would be around twice that I'll bet. I had a ton of hail damage on the hood, now you don't see a thing. He did a great job. The only part I had to replace was the rear bumper (exhaust heat warpage).

I love the stock BBS rims too adrock. But in todays trends, that huge wall of tire on the sidewall just stood out as old school. I still have the originals if I decide to go back one day. As for the width, I probably could have gone a size wider ...
