Couldn't take it outside because it was raining and I just washed/dried it.

Wow, looks good! What are the specs on the wheels? Looks like it could use some clear corners, though.

Thank you all for the kind words. The wheel specs are: Sport Edition ST4. They are 18" and I got them from tirerack.com for $92/ea + shipping. The tires are Sunny brand name (I've never heard of them) and are P245/40ZR18. The tires were $65.27/ea + shipping and came from discountedwheelwarehouse.com. All said and done, the tires and wheels were $780 and thats including $60 for mounting & balancing.

Nothing on the paint, no wax or anything. Maybe its the lighting in the pole barn? And I'm in MN, so there is a tiny bit of rust on the lower inside of the doors :sad:

Put an LSP on there if you want it to stay pretty. Looks swell with those wheels.

That's one thing about Tire Rack though, even in their "upgrade garage" you REALLY never know how good the wheels are going to look until you actually get them on your car. Case and point above, those are *dang* sharp on your car!
