WIDE Booty Finally Installed!!!!!!! PICS!!
Today I finally got around to installing my wide booty quarter panels I couldn't be happier with the results. The color match is perfect with no blending being necessary. I decided to paint all factory plastic pieces like the vents and mudflaps jet black to go with my matching diffuser halo and windshield pillars. This job was super easy. I thought it would have been a lot more difficult. Total time with a buddy was 2 hours start to finish. Then again my buddy owns a body shop so maybe add an extra hour or two if your not a pro. So here are the results what you guys think?

So what spacer did you use and what size tires to you have. I'm a big fan of your vossen wheels.

Looks great. I'm picking my car up tomorrow from getting the rear quarters painted.

Thanks, I used a 1.25" hubcentric spacer. The guy that I bought the quarter panels from used them for over a year so I knew they would fit. The rear wheels are 20x11 tires are 305x25x20.

Dang... that silver is a dead-ringer match.
I may have to take a drive up North to your neck of the woods to get my stuff painted.
Did you do the install ? or did you have him paint and install too ?
I'm curious what he charged for the paint work. I've got my front fenders already... just 'gotta gather the rear kit and finishing parts for the front.

Hmmm maybe I need to get my eyes checked cause it's dead on perfect. This wasn't like I just called in the factory paint code and painted it. I went to the paint supplier and actually had them scan my hatch with their computer and mix from there. No way to get a better match than that. Look at the third picture the color is not only close but it's exact. I think what you maybe seeing is the lighting difference from front to back. I was in a gas station parked at an angle so the florissant light wasnt even on the car.

Looks good.
But the first pic does make it seem like there is a slight difference in the shading. It could very well be the angle and the lighting. The rear quarter seems to have a slightly bluer tint.
Also, the photos are at night under the lights. Take some daytime photos when you get the chance. That will show the paint much better.
