Is this true for discontinued OEM colors? I'm looking to get my 07 repainted a color that wasn't available after the 05s. Will this affect the resale value?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Would that bring down the re-sale value?

teaser:


One of my doors on the inside



Found my Auth. KS Rear!


Hmm...what this? *takes a peak underneath*


My ironboard spoiler!


15MM Ichiba v2 on the rears!

So apparently, Galactic Gray Pearl keeps on changing colors depending on the lighting. it gets really dark and really light . Extremely satisfied so far


btw sorry about crappy pics. my phone sucks

I was quoted everything would be done by end of next week. Im not complaining since im being sponsored
I walked around and found my front bumper and one of my sideskirts still being repaired. apparently they ran out of fiberglass and it was backordered from there supplier so they had to wait for it

^i actually like the kenstyle sideskirt badges for the sides.
i just dont like the front emblem one. i was actualyl planning to remove the middle piece of the front along with the bottom bar but i couldnt tell how it would look like so i just left it. ill probably end up getting a new front/rear in the future so ill just leave it be for now
