Are they white? Now just repeat the car and have the wheels white.....I think I'd like it.....and you know as well as I do how much I hate those wheels....good work Simon.

Dude...this post hurts my head, i dont get what your trying to tell me lol

Are those the Corvette wheels? I thought you got rid of those? What kind of tires are you going to run? I really dig white wheels lately.

How many coats of spray paint did you use and did use clear them? I want to get all my wheels PC'ed too but the only place I know of is $140 per wheel. I used to work in a PC shop and we did all four for $100.

yea there the vette wheels, i was thinking about getting rid of them but i really like the way they look in white so im gonna hold on to them for a while and then sell them for some decent profit haha. in the pic its 2 coats white primer, and like 3 coats of white lacquer spray paint. The spray paint just wasnt covering like i would like it too so im just gonna go PC. I hope its not 140 per wheel lol thats crazy

Oh and im gonna run 205/40's

i think the wheels will look great once the fenders get some love

i was saying paint the car and get the wheels coated white and i will like the way it looks.....

 

[ajkulish]

you should show a test fit for the rear

 

[HKPRO5]

Boooo I was going for white wheels too. lol

 

[justanothermp5]

yea i saw your thread lol i painted these a few days ago, just couldnt find my camera cable until now. White actually looks pretty good on just about any wheel...

and as far as the fenders go, im leaving them red. Its not worth my time to take them off, prep them, paint them, and have the color not match anyways

 

[SCMP3]

I was saying paint the whole car but ok....

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Looks good Simon...

damit mike...do i have to quote the people im talking to? lol that was towards ajkulish. And you know just as well as i do that im not going to paint the car anytime soon, i dont mind the bad paint, I should just re spray the car panel by panel until the whole car matches lol

oh and stay tuned, have a big update, have to upload the pics

 

[justanothermp5]

thats all the pics for now, so close to driving my car again

Dump whatever photo service you are using... the pics are taking WAY too long to load. I suggest using Picasa, but I also drank the Google kool-aid years ago.

 

[ajkulish]

i wouldnt leave the fenders red. if you dont paint them, at least rust them....

 

[SCMP3]

And you know just as well as i do that im not going to paint the car anytime soon

i know. i just like giving you s*** sometimes

and im liking the update....i sent you a txt btw....should take the maxima to work...

lol yea facebook ftl, i normally upload them to photobucket and nobody has a problem. They are semi high quality though so maybe thats why?

I just bought these fenders, im most def. not going to **** them up lol there staying red, like I said i honestly dont mind the way they look

 

[shane02pro5]

No!... on the rust idea

 

[ajkulish]

im just saying do something other than red because it just looks really out of place. i mean the paint may be good and all but it would look a hell of a lot cleaner with body color or anythin besides red, but thats just my opinion. but i guess do whatever makes you happy

so how would rust look good? rust looks like s***. it takes away from the car. by a lot. easily the ugliest s*** i've ever seen on a car. rust is BAD. most people try to PREVENT it. not make it.

 

[ajkulish]

im not that big of a fan but his fenders would look better that way than in a paint that doesnt match IMO

 

[justanothermp5]

im not painting the fenders, moving on

I ordered a AWR race pan today, AWR apparently custom makes there stuff, so its gonna be another 14 day wait before they ship it out....awesome.
Also sent my WG adapter to get Ceramic coated, then ill be ready to put everything back together once i get the head machined and assembled

 

[SCMP3]

ill be dropping the wg adapter and my pep 3 inch dp off at the same time. probably monday or tuesday.
