And thats perfectly cool, but were talking about color changes… IMO if your GOING to paint your car, fuck spending a shit ton of money to paint it some plain oem color in which you could have got in the first place. Also, some people, myself included LIKE the flashy-ness. Idk about others but if im putting $20k+ into my car I want that fucker to stand out, thought thats what half the car scene was about?
