throughout the past few nights, I wrapped up my headlight rings, tail light rings, gas cap, and grill trim with 3M scotchcal vinyl.

Bridgestone Potenza G 019 Grid 205/45R17

OZ Racing Crono HT 17x7

As for the beltine, nope. I would only do it if I can get all the chrome(scuttles, handles, gas cap etc.) blacked out, I would want it to be uniform..

Had the MCS for about two weeks, and yes he actually fits comfortably! The only mod I've done is hardwire the Sirius into the OEM power and antenna, and I will do the "automatic sport button" when the parts arrive. The only major change left is the wheels - of course all black but am debating between 17" aftermarkets or the 18" JCS black double-spokes. I love driving this car!

You can order it with black or astro black. I ordered mine with astro black and it's stunning.

I didn't know you could choose astro black as an option for the roof (unless you chose to have the rest of the car astro black). ...I just bought my dark silver MCS a few months ago and I only had the option for "black" "dark silver" or "white" roof color. No astro black option?

Nice I like. I'd prefer more of a Jet Black, but i really like astro black too. Clearly my 2nd choice if i didnt CR. It'd look even better with some tints. what are you lowered on?

I'd bet the astro black shows less swirls and imperfections in the paint than regular shiny black? -as astro black has metallic and metallics tend to hide swirls a bit more than flat colors do.

Sorry -- I misunderstood -- Astrol Black is only available when you order Astro Black body color!

Took delivery of it on Saturday. This car is an absolute blast to drive and is a huge upgrade from my 2003 Tundra.
