Where did you end up getting the paint mixed and placed into a spray can? Did it cost much?


I ended up getting it through GV auto paints. I got 2 cans of colour and a can of clear, it cost around $60

looks good!

i still think you should get the front lip painted sunlight silver!

now you need some coilovers to minimise that guard gap.

Need to see them in a clearer photo (& maybe further away with both tail lights showing) before making an opinion.

Naa they are stock 8b lights. I'll get a clearer pic during the weekend sometime. It was just a rush pic before I headed north.
I'll be keeping the STD ones also. Just incase I get in trouble with the boys in blue
