Wow, car looks amazing Jody. I like the darker color.... I wish I could have had someone like your painter paint my car, that looks amazing and you have not even color sanded it yet... I'm jealous....

thanks Brad. Your car is nice, don't be too jealous............. :thumbsup:

Looks great Jody! I'm another one that can't wait to see that beast under the hood.:thumbsup:

Hey Jody,

Nice choice on the color. The dark charcoal gray will give the car some more attitude for sure - or more "Malitude"?
Now this is just my 2 cents, The HREs are nice wheels but I think visually a thin multi-spoke wheel on this particular car might actually take a little agressiveness (is that a word?) away from the overall look. I won't type my opinion on TTs. BUT, however I do think a chunky 5-spoke would look good. I think you are also on the right track as far as a brighter wheel finish to help contrast the body color.
Something that might look real hot with your dark gray metallic exterior color might be some sort of fat lip billet wheel with a polished lip, and then finish off the spokes in a satin magnesium finish? Then maybe pick up some of that magnesium satin in the engine compartment and maybe the interior?

Thanks for the opinion John, and I agree. After the car was painted I've liked the 10 spoke look less and less, just been afraid to tell Scott and Frank.......... :faint: :D I like your idea. :thumbsup:

Jody

:yes: :yes:

Please stay with a standard lip on this car...

I hate you!! It looks great and its also the same exact color my car WAS to be sprayed in :mad: :( Oh well my second choice is Flint Mica on a Scion TC it is a little bluer and has a pretty big flake in it... PLEASE anybody building a high profile car dont use that color I dont wanna look like Im copying. Regardless the car looks awesome and is the quintessential pro-touring A body IMO and what any Malibu should be compared to:thumbsup:

hey, paint it the color you want. :thumbsup: It's not copying, it's a great color. Thanks for the nice words.

Jody

I'm actually leaning towards copying Scott.......... :unibrow: well, I can't afford HRE, but Forgeline makes a nice split 5 spoke with silver or gray centers and polished lip that I really like.
