I also got the rear debadged and all the chrome bits (under the tailights on the rear and the grille surround/headlight sprayer on the front) painted in obsidean black for a mean/clean look 8)

Good choice :) Details?

What sort of paint is best for wheels (besides 2 pack)? I want to paint mine myself if I can get it made up...

thanks, Ill find the actual paint code and post it up - I spent a fair bit of time with all the paint chips at the panel beaters - I liked the 36 Onyx that the STI rims come painted, but found that they had a bit of blue through which I didnt want against the black car, so I tried to find a colour which wasnt too dark and was a neutral metallic grey.

I got a settlement payment for the rear wing so Ive thought I would hold off and see if I like it without the rear wing before I decide to order it through Phat. Im getting a wide rear difuser shortly and some Tein springs so it will look lower and deeper at the back
