My WRX took a serious beating when I lived in Fenway.

Idea: have a house warming party and ask for parts for your car (or tools)  :mrgreen:   then again maybe im too obsessed with my car...

UPDATE:  haven't done much with the car until today.  been mostly concentrating on my bike and my business.  so, for mothers day, i went to my moms to spend some time with her and had a nice little project.  i let her wash and sand my wheels getting em prepped for paint.  thanks mom!  happy mothers day, haha.  she actually did help with one, i was surprised.  other than that, she just hung out.

Looks good, I really REALLY like the color....just keep an eye out for chips. 

I used that paint in metallic copper on mine....had Fred paint them and he did a great job (I mention this only because it came out better than if I had done them myself lol).  I took a brand new set of wheels, stripped them to bare metal, cleaned a couple times with alcohol, gave them to Fred and he cleaned them again before doing a few coats of color and a couple coats of clear, and I already had a couple rock chips down to bare metal within a couple of weeks   :|
