I like the colour on your G. Very nice job. The only downside is that more eyes will be drawn to your wheels which are curbed up pretty bad. Get your wheels refinished and you're all set!

Thanks guys yeah unfortunately the person before me managed to curb every wheel pretty good. In need of some new tires so it will be a good time to go with the 245/275 combo and refinish the wheels.
