If you are going to have the plastic arch trim painted, you need to get brand new ones from the dealer so they are clean and free from oil and treatments such as Armorall. The shop then can sand, primer, and paint them.

Thanks. I finally got it all dialed in where it sits good and makes it in and out of the driveway. Here is what my wife has to negotiate every day:

We also finally got the black center caps which is what we originally ordered. They really tie in the wheels a lot better with the rest of the car. It is at the shop having some touch-up done so I will have some pics of the final drop next week after we get it back.

Here's a couple of shots I took the other day...lot's-o-mods over the past couple of months (Wilwood brakes, H&R Coilovers, IE Camber Plates and control arms, Audio upgrades, Ultrasuede headliner and pillars, just to name a few), so I'll post more pics in the near future. Hope it fits in among this crowd of kick *** cars!
