I would say, in order to accent tastefully, just do the wheels purple but leave the body itself black. It'll tie it together much better than a big vinyl. Just my $.02

The place I use is awesome. They do EVERYTHING for you. Literally all I need to do is get the tires taken off and then drop them off the my powdercoater. They strip them, repair any scratches or curb rash as best as possible and then powdercoat them.

thanks checkin their site out now... prices sound better then some of the other ones ive seen around

[CASH XRS]

Yeah really well priced I think. Just remember, you'll need some $ for re-mounting and balancing the tires and also certain colors require 50% up charge so just keep that in mind.

[Stephi Matrix]

well the bf works at a shop just for fun so he can do my tires for me...yeah i saw that with the 50% xtra on the color i really liked haha

[Stephi Matrix]

plus i need new tires real bad so i figured now is the time to do it since i gotta take the tires off anyway
