It will come back looking like new.

Yeah, I went there and they pretty much said they wont be able to 100% match the wheels at all due to some proprietary color Rays uses or something, but it'd be REALLY close.

I was actually going to recommend them as well.

I think that's the same with a lot of manufacturers. They couldn't exactly match the gold color on the Subaru JDM STi wheels, but they said they could get the shade close enough that the untrained eye would never know the difference. If I were going to keep that car, I was thinking of painting my spare set gunmetal.

I backed into a curb that I couldn't see the first week of owning the car :(

Left a small (1cm) gouge in lip. Most peope would have lived with it as it's pretty minor. Well I had a guy who does mobile alloy rim repair come fix it.

He charged 100 bucks and used a more expensive color called "hyper-silver" to match the paint of the Rays. I can't tell where it was done!


Now a question of my own. How long should I wait after repair before I wash the car?

Of course, they can't do anything about it so I'm left with a small scratch on my rim...nice huh? It's not very noticeable however, considering the fact that I've only had the car for a week I'd like to get it fixed.

Does anyone have a shop they'd recommend in the N. Va area?

Thanks in advance!

My man Bruce Foltz is in Vienna, VA has a business called the Bumper Guys. I've used him to do any bodywork i've ever needed. He's already repaired 2 of my 370 rims and it was perfect work. He does work for all the dealers in the area and I found out about him through a delear recommendation.

i'll PM you his number and price.
