I think I paid around $250 for the paint job. Don't know if that's a fair price or not, I was kinda rushed to get it done before I deployed.
Make sure to get it clear bra'd if you haven't already. I didn't when I got mine and in 2 short years it looks like someone took a sledgehammer to an oreo cookie.

I'm planning to do the same with 19" wheels
and no one has really given me an in depth description before...
The ride on Eibach's is pretty close to stock for normal, just less bouncy which is def a plus. A little more rigid around turns and when pushing it a little which is nice too. Overall for a moderate drop, I think Eibach is awesome!

I haven't got it clearbra'd. I'm not quite sure if I want to, I've heard that the film is pretty noticiable on dark cars from close and that some films fade in the sun (moving to San Antonio).

I got them from Amplified. It was supposed to be battery/brake covers and a radiator shroud but they sent an engine cover instead. I'll probably end up keeping the engine cover and working with them to get the radiator shroud as well.
