I had them painted at MSD Auto Body here in North Miami. I had my lip my tails and my wheels painted there. They do great work. PM me if you need more info. I got a guy there that will take care of you.

They turned out good but I don't think gloss black does the Meister justice.

^I agree.

and your front camber seems odd. maybe some spacers, and lower your car some more.

It probably just needs the Work decals back on to do them justice. what color did you order?

What I am doing is getting silver lip decals only. the center will be all matte black. the decals look like these. I also plan on getting some black lugs. Jun sent you another.

Do those two things and I think you're set. I personally would want the original style Work decals as well, but we're really nitpicking now.

hmm, i don't know. they kind of make the meisters look cheap now. it doesn't have that expensive look anymore. It also reveals how small the spokes of the meisters really are since there is no contrast in the lip.

i think the wheels would look much better if you had a better camera. its' hard to tell that the face is matte black and the lip is gloss black. +1 on some nice lugs as well. it's complete the look.
