we're waiting till we pull the motor down the road to paint the engine bay. And new rims are in process. I dont know if I should stick with a black rim with a polished lip or something different.

So how much input did you have on painting the car? Sounds like you had a good hand or two in it. Exotic color looks good.

I'd agree with the others and stay away from black wheels. The look is kind of overdone.

Didn't you want to paint the bumpers at the same time so they'll match?

I still have the stock bumpers on not 99 spec. My boyfriend did 98% of the the work while I did what I could and helped out a little with sanding, whatever I could do without messing too much up. And we painted the bumpers with the same batch of paint at the same psi so they would match in the 2nd booth. Oh and the color is mazda protege "spicy orange". Im very happy with it.
