Definitley Moonrock. But here's the issue with painting the wheels gold IMO. You have a red interior. So the gold will probably clash with it. I know the FF2Skip has Moonrock with Gold volk's, but he also has tan seats to compliment the wheels. I think you should go with gloss black if you decide to paint your OEMs.

Yea I'm very confident in this guys work. He has an agreement with alot of domestic dealers around town, when they get used cars or cars on their lots having problems he does the body work for them. He did all the work on my old car, and it always came out looking factory. I want the Moonrock really bad but will cost me about $1500 out of pocket after the insurance money. And rental car expenses, cause im sure it will take a while and my insurance company only pays for 3 days of a rental car. If i go with keeping it Silverstone it wont cost me a dime and he said it would take him about 3 days to do that. The S is my only car. My fear of keeping it Silverstone though is that the paint wont match well. Iv'e heard even the best bodyshops have problems with paint matching Silverstone...hmmm. Sucks to be a poor college student or else Moonrock but my definte awnser. This is a hard decision.

Well, I'd say go with either of the following:

1. paint the stockers gold - this will look sweet with a red interior
2. get them chromed - just looks downright classy
3. leave them alone - I'm not a huge fan of the AP1 wheels, so this would be a last resort.

Either way, congrats on painting the car. Moonrock is a helluva color. I can't wait to see it with a red interior!

Yea if i do end up giving in to temptation and shelling out the extra dough to paint it moonrock i think my red interior will be a perfect match for it. I'm really having a hard time deciding on what to do.
