I agree with Warranty...I like the pillars painted as well and think it looks better. This looks good to0, don't get me wrong it still looks nice!

How much for the paint job? Looking to do mine too. I have some body parts (new lip...ect) coming for Xmas. Did you paint the entire car or just the roof. I am painting the entire car. Thinking it will cost at minimum 2k.

where are you located?
if i were to go get my whole car painted it would prob cost 3500... If i went to mayco or something i could get it done for under 1000 but that would be a crappy paint job. If i went to get when you got it would cost anywhere from 700-1000

How about on a desert green TT? I'm open to options. Thinking a matte finish though. I'll bead blast the rims at work before I paint them.

Depends what you want out of it/what you plan to do with it. Dont do just springs on OE dampers, it doesnt make alot of sense in my opinion. I went with the koni fsd/eibach pro kit from mjm because coils were more than I could afford, I wasnt going to track, I wasnt going to show, and a moderate static drop waws all I was going for. Of course, it helped that all my stock parts were busted basically, ie both rear springs were broke, shock leaking, cracked front sway, rear link busted, haha so anything was an improvement. If you want coils, just wait and save, but if you are going to be doing suspension, save to have enough to replace some of the bushings, sway bar, get an alignment, etc. It adds up :-P
