thanks for all your positive comments guys! i seriously debated on a gunmetal color for like 2 months. then it was the day we had to order paint so i just went with it and it turned out absolutely perfect.
as for the sportlines dont have them anymore, sold them locally for 200$, as for the Ksports, they are stiffer so it doesnt feel like the wheels are jabbing up through the strut towers everytime you hit a bump. i would recommend them! idk if its because theyre fresh or what, but they ride twice as good as sportlines.
Just felt like throwin this picture in here of night time. 3k lows. love them. i think they show more light then any bulbs besides diamond white.

looks like it turned out good but i would never have jammed the the car put together like that. normally when i do completes i disassemble the entire car then jamb it. this allows my to ensure for better prep work in the jambs...due to all the curvers thats the first place things will start to peel.
depending on the color ill normally just spray the fenders doors bumpers trunk hood and thing that comes off the car...off the car. being that your still learning its good you did it the way you did because most guys that panel paint can tend to REALLY screw everything up. candy colors, 3 stage colors we always spray them all together.
looks like you got a good finish over it all and you should be proud. just trying to lend you some advice for the future.

whyyoumadson: i have 15 weeks on a set schedule to paint my car, so i didnt have time to dissamble everything. the jambs turned out just as good with taking everything off.
but i plan on powder coatitng the inner part of my rims black, and im not a fan of the supper blue 12ks
