Por que?

Think he's talking about the front lip on the car...not the wheel.

 

[RedRyder]

Ahh yep. Oops.

 

[AllGOnoSHOW]

lol. All he needs to do is screw two screws where I said to do it and the corners won't be droopy.

Lookin Fresh looking clean =) but Im not feeling that frontt lip I think mugen would look Beast

You may be right. But i like to keep my car to my tastes. Between the OEM rep sides and rear and the common mesh look wheels, it has enough of what others also have. The front lip is a big part of what pulls it apart from the rest. keeps it me. Keeping it me is why i did the blue hardware. Thanks for the compliment though man. keeping it fresh is what i wanna try to do more of.

HAWT!

Really nice work, lips look pretty smooth and reflective from what I can tell. PC'ing wheel bolts isn't cheap, where'd you send them off to? (if you don't mind me asking) You can PM me.

Anyway they look great on the car, love em.


EDIT: Are the disks reverse mounted? Or is that how they were originally?

Long story short, my brother knows a dude that owns a powdercoater. Dude does awesome work. Advanced Coating Solutions in Fredricksburg VA. Won't put his name out, but honestly it doesn't matter who does the work there, they all do good work. I've seen the race bikes of my friends they've done. checked out pics online. and when i picked up the hardware i checked out the shop and some other work they were working on. All looked incredible.

I
Can't

Stop

Looking

So

Incredibly

Beautiful

Omg. Blue hardware looks perfect! Great choice

thanks man.

Damn, I might just attempt to do this, but is it safe to polish wheels with tires attached?

you CAN. but i highly recommend waiting until the tires are off. I tried multiple times to get a decent shine with the tires on and the wheels on the car. but the hardware being installed made it really hard to get an evn sand/polish, and was painful on my fingertips.

Damn that sucks.... Maybe when my tires are bald or before I go get some new tires.

Thats exactly what i did. When i needed new tires i swapped on my winter wheels and ripped these summers apart.

lol. All he needs to do is screw two screws where I said to do it and the corners won't be droopy.

PM me pic's if you have them of where exactly you put a screw in. I want to do this. i just keep picturing a screw head showing after the job is done and i don't want anything showing. I'm fabbing up a bracket in my head to do it. But i wanna see what you were talking about before i get carried away. I have a bad tendency to do things the hard, overly technical way and realize the more efficient way afterwards.

All I did was screw the back underside of the lip into the bumper. No screw shows

 

[slowrider87]

Definitely going to look under there on my next day off and try to do that. Thanks man!

 

[AllGOnoSHOW]

Just make sure that you jack up the car and find the best place possible to put the screw. you are looking for the farthest point away from the outter edge of the bumper where the bumper and lip overlap.

no hex head use a regular flat or Phillips screw.

haha Matt I always enjoy your artwork.

Slow, did you also seal the seam where the barrels meet with silicon? How did you do that, and what did you use to do it?

EDIT: Also, how did you get the clearcoat off the lips?
