thanks for the comments guys, the paint only takes about overnight to dry, but a couple weeks to fully cure since i can't bake it, but i'll still be able to drive it, just have to was with soap and water everyday to keep contaminants off.

as for the wheel chad has it about right. my girl was driving my car @ the time, it felt like she hit a speedbump @ 30mph, i came off my seat. only live a mile away from where it happened so just drive home. saw the damage on the wheel so went back for pics for evidence. it bent all 4 wheels, that being the worst and only one that wouldnt hold air. went to good brothers dodge in weymouth after talking with the contractors ins. company and got an estimate. 4 wheels, 4 tires, 2 front struts= $3600. so we'll see how much i really get.
these r the wheels i ordered to replace em.

Yea its almost all back together now, but no pics yet... its humiliating.
The friggin place i get my paint from can't mix 2 different batches of the EXACT same color. My pass. door, front header panel, headlight covers are all a bit darker than everything else, and lots of blotchy metallic.
Never sprayed anything with so much metallic before. figure i can just wetsand and polish for now and just respray the whole exterior in the springtime.

but since you asked nicely i'll put some pics up tomorrow when its light out.

yea sry lol

after driving for like 20 mins once it warms up the idle is real low and it sometimes stalls out. and i think i might have a teeny coolant leak.

also at a high RPM around like 5k (when im gettin on it) something gets louder but i cant pinpoint where its coming from. im thinkin maybe cuz of the stock head.
