Looks good. :thumbs:

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. :thumbs:

Thanks ill def take better pics in the morning but for now heres a pic under even light while still in the shop. what do you say still blue or is it right?

If you want yours done by him it will be 400 dollars per panel painted and installed. Just let me know and I'll shoot you over all his info. Well worth the trip if you want it done right without blending.

Might be worth a road trip down from Mass to get that done in the spring. As long as we don't talk sports we should be fine. :)

Looks great, nice job.:thumbs: As for the paint difference it looks great to me. Angles and lights especially with a flash show all kinds of funny things. If you look at the front fender to the door that looks slightly off to the door too, but you didn't paint the front. Just shows it is lighting and angles.

Very very nice! :cool::cool:

It does really improve the looks, but I agree you need the 325/30's to achieve the proper look.

MUCH better :)

One of the best things I did to my car was the rear fenders.

345s now :)

Those Vossens are 3-piece correct? If so, I believe you can send yours back to Vossen and have them simply put your wheel centers in a wider lip/barrel. MUCH less expensive than a whole new pair of wheels. :thumbs:

Mike@Vossen 11-29-2012 09:48 AM

You don't need new wheels, 325's will fit your 11" wheel. Just get new tires :thumbs: Even with the 1.25 spacers, you'll still be fine.

The quarters look great. Like a new car, huh? :thumbs::cheers:

i've been debating doing just the rear widebody as well since it's so cheap. hows the car look all around? can we get more angles?

JW Motorsports 11-29-2012 11:58 AM

Much better. C6's just look better with a wide body IMO. :thumbs:

Took this pic this morning under the sun. What do you think.
