I doubt you wanna drive back and forth from STL everyday to get your car. I washed mine and even have a garage plus a DD and I still got mine dirty the day after washing it.

My weekends are pretty rough through march, but late march, and april look good.

S techs definitely bring the whole look together.

I want to paint my rims black sometime, simply because I want black rims, and rims are expensive. I'd also want to paint the strakes black too.

Have fun with the painting cole, sanding is the worst part but if I were you I would look into plasti dip before you try paint. IDk how it will hold up on wheels but you dont have to sand the wheels at all. Just wash and spray on. Just something to think about.

I youtubed a couple vids.. It looked pretty good, but it seems like peeling is an issue sometimes. It still might be a good route though.

Yea thats what I would be worried about but if I didnt already sand my rims down and paint I think I would give it a try before I spent 5 times as much time sanding/painting. Also cole have you seen the guy on here with the Ti-Gray 8 who has his wheels painted like graphite gray? That might look good with red.

I've thought of going with a more gunmetal color too.. I don't think I have seen the one you are talking about though.
