Thanks ill def take better pics in the morning but for now heres a pic under even light while still in the shop. what do you say still blue or is it right?

Well worth the trip if you want it done right without blending.
Might be worth a road trip down from Mass to get that done in the spring. As long as we don't talk sports we should be fine.

Looks great, nice job. As for the paint difference it looks great to me. Angles and lights especially with a flash show all kinds of funny things. If you look at the front fender to the door that looks slightly off to the door too, but you didn't paint the front. Just shows it is lighting and angles.

It does really improve the looks, but I agree you need the 325/30's to achieve the proper look.

One of the best things I did to my car was the rear fenders.

Those Vossens are 3-piece correct? If so, I believe you can send yours back to Vossen and have them simply put your wheel centers in a wider lip/barrel. MUCH less expensive than a whole new pair of wheels.

You don't need new wheels, 325's will fit your 11" wheel. Just get new tires Even with the 1.25 spacers, you'll still be fine.

Much better. C6's just look better with a wide body IMO.
