Thanks for the kind words guys, the roof will be vinyled very soon, I called two local shops and got quoted 200 by one and 145 by the other. And a carbon trunk spoiler will be installed soon as well.

thats a really easy mod that makes a huge diffrence on the cars appearance.. great job.. how much $$$ if you dont mine me asking..?? i would love to powder coat my calipers but i cant find a decent shop around this **** hole.. and the people who do it are beaners who learned on their own.. you get to the body shop and its also a used car dealership with mostly escalades and tahoes all on 26" wheels with extra chrome, oh and taco truck on the side.. you walk inside and its a cell phone, dish and direct tv dealer with a restaurant, bakery and tortilleria..

I got them done at vegas powdercoating, 75 bucks a rim, so 300 bucks for the set. Money well spent!

Like same color as the car? Hmm I bet that would look really good actually. Definetley something different, know anyone good at photoshop? I'd be interested to see how it would look.

Do you ever sleep Josh? You're like a machine! I don't think doctors hours will affect you at all... lol

yah. or maybe even matte black like yours?

and no....i dont really sleep. i'm literally always up and doing something, so doctor hours probably will have little effect on me as i averaged about 5 hrs a night throughout college. i just cant seem to get on what everyone considers "normal" sleeping hours. lol.

Id love to get the front one as well but am afraid of destroying with the car being as low as it is.

True, you could get the non CF version since its cheaper and paint it Matte black as a tester to see if it will scrape a lot.

Wow, I couldn't tell either. I'm really glad you did this because I've been contemplating this for a while. Now, I'm definitely doing it.

Were your wheels perfect to begin with or did the powder coating cover up some blemishes? I ask because I'm not sure if I should get mine repaired before hand or not. I don't have any real damage, but there's definitely spots on mine where the clear coat is wearing.

Yes the rims wernt in good condition at all, no curb damage or anything like that but the clear coat was almost completly gone and the paint was chipping away. He put them through the sand blaster and it cured all the ugliness from them. Once you sand blast youre good to go! And for 300 bucks, you really can't go wrong.
