thanks for the comments/suggestion. I'm hoping it'll settle a bit more in the front...i put #2 pads in the front and #3 back. might need to go #1 front we'll see...

Trinitony, my grill was a DIY, took em off, sanded em primered flat black then used glossy black for the finish.

BTW got a quote from truwheel to re-finish all 4 rims (BrabusV 2pc) for $550.00, that's everything from fixing the little bents to painting... what do u guys think??? he said it'll look brand new. I went to the shop and pretty impressed with what they do and the kinda rims they fix.

around here it's normally $150 per wheel, so that price sounds about right me thinks.
