Type of rim? Well I'd say the type would be mesh face with polish/chrome lip. If you're asking for the brand and name, then I believe their DPE GT7's.

For the trunk, two vendors on the site sell them.

My question was this. With people spending thousands of dollars of paint jobs. Is this true.

I understand if you get a maaco paint job how it could devalue. But what about a really nice job. Door jams and engine bay included?

I might want to do this in the future. But don't want to depreciate my car on purpose.

And if you do this. Does it change on the title as well

Well, they were wrong. My car suffered HUGE and I mean HUGE impacts by the undercarriage hitting small raised portions of the highway. The impact sounds like someone taking a sledgehammer to an anvil. Shattered pieces of asphalt can then be heard tumbling underneath my car. After encountering 10 or so large impacts, I had decided to slow down to 45MPH on the highway just to lessen the force. Eventually my SES light went on, I thought for sure something must have punctured/cracked/dented/snapped.

Once I got home, I immediately jacked up the car, found nothing leaking or cracked. Aside from a destroyed undertray, and bent up metal everywhere, all seemed intact-ish. I decided to disconnect the negative battery term, and reconnect it, and see if that would clear the light. Started the car, and the SES is gone. Hasn't returned for 2 days. Now I'm not sure what the hell the issue was. A false alarm from the impacts, or something else. But the light is gone, I'm just wondering if i'm in the clear, or if there could be a real issue. Any ideas what might have caused the SES?

It was so bad, I tried taking El Camino all the way back up to SF from Sunnyvale in an attempt to avoid the carnage, even if my trip was another 1-2 hours longer. But El Camino Real around cupertino & palo alto is so horrible, I ended up merging back onto 280N just to end the suffering quicker.

Thank goodness 280N/S and El Camino Real in my area (north of San Bruno) is smooth.

I'm willing to bet hitting the bump jolted a battery terminal, turning on the SES light. Happened to my G all the time. Every now and then the negative terminal even pops off, stalling the car. That happened until I decided to put a wood screw through the terminal to make sure it holds.

If you are having problems driving over those bumps at even 45MPH, then you might want to rethink your suspension. Something firmer, that doesn't give as much or have as much rebound might be better.
