3 month of nightmares, not sure about the color code, thinking maybe the car will be orange or burgundy or maybe PINK

But no

A real, nice, dark candy apple red. cannot wait to see the exterior

And yes its a bit expensive. 2k$ + only in paint material, about a 8-10K$ paint but its a dream color... really worth it for me

If you think about a candy for your car (red, blue, orange..) whitout a doubt the HOK kandy paint is a good choice

Unless the exhaust was installed for test fitting I wouldve waited until after paint and avoid possible overspray...

looks good. Any pictures how they mounted your rear hatch release and license plate lights from the inside of the bumper? Also what bolts or snaps are they using for the 3 holes at top of bumper hidden by hatch?

Any pictures of that would be great as I am starting to do an ING rear install soon.

OT: Why did you get an auto instead of a stick and why did you decide to paint it instead of leaving it stock color?
