The paint on the rockers and fascia are right(its just the way the light was hitting it and the camera sucks) the rear corners however, do not match. when i got them installed, they matched the paint to the car, and i then realized that my rear bumper is shades darker then the rest of my car from the factory. So, the rear corners match the car but not the bumper and it looks off.

not to hard pressed to get it fixed right away. some people notice it, others dont. no big deal. but eventually i will get the rear corners re-painted

Great wheel choice!! Gun metal is my favorite! & it looks perfect w/ ur precision grey. Look at the difference between the car now & the pict in your sig...the wheels give the car a much more aggressive look.

Some wheels end up overpowering the look of the Coupe bc its got such sleek lines, but these enhance the overall look. Again great wheel choice!

Thank you all for the compliments. I know that there are other precision gray coupes on here that got the same wheels as me that had been waiting to get tires. So I wanted to post as quick as possible so that they can see what they have to look forward too. They look amazing, IMO, in person( I originally wasnt sure how the gunmetal was going to match with the gray) and all of the photoshopping that we did this winter didnt do them justice after seeing the finished product.

I will hopefully be able to get a few more mods finished before Carlisle
