it is going to be real hard to get them to match the paint on velocity red without blending it into the car. Or at least they would need your car there to help them match it. Velocity Red is one of the hardest colors to match on the 8. If you plann to install it yourself, do it and then take it to a shop for paint.

While my engine never cut out, I did experience some idle problems to the point I thought it would cut out if I didn't blip the accelerator a bit. Turns out my cat needed to be replaced and I haven't experienced any rough idle since. My 2 cents.

Edit: Strange...this is not the thread I was reading when I replied with the above text ^ ^ ^ Apologies for my totally out of context reply on this paint thread :|

Becareful with tpr, i've seen some of their work, seems as if they will do a good job only if they want to. Make sure you don't take the car back unless its up to your standards. Here are some other shops you can also look into that do good work.

Reflections auto body
20/20
MOBWorks
16 Customs (recomended)
