    The paint is supposed to be the original color, called Grabber Lime. It has had a recent respray though, so I can't really be 100% certain that it is completely accurate :p

    The wheels are 17x8 with a 4.5" backspacing, rear wheels are "spaced out" a little over half an inch though. The 8" wheels wouldn't really fill the wheel wells enough to my liking with the 4.5" backspacing..

    Out of curiosity, is your mercury parked at a fjord?
