I just love this car. You mentioned new paint... sticking with the khaki? Please say yes. It will look sick with the white wheels.

Def stick with the khaki. Do a matte color. Maybe be a bit pricey depending on what company you use but it'd look sick.

I'm not feeling the rear spoiler but definitely some props for doing something different. Is there a clear coat as well?

Original paint was Silver. The second owner got it Macco white paint... it flaked off, so I decided at the time with the budget I had to do something different and rattled canned it Dupli-color Satin Khaki.

Now that I have a good job, time for the toys to come in progressively. I'm also in the market for a house and another car. lol

But I'm very interested in getting the Works, and I plan to have it sprayed Matte Khaki and maybe have it a little darker with clear coat.

As for the headlights... I really dont see myself tearing apart perfectly good and brand new OEM Stanley headlights to paint them. If I do anything, I'll buy SiR headlights or Type R headlights.
