They should look sick with my Ksport coilovers I just installed, but I think I am going to take out the 2 rings in the rear to make it go lower if I put these bad boys on. 8)

captainlaziness,
Yeh it looks like a totally new rim. I did not think the white looked that bad :P

those must have been a B!T(H to tape off haha, too bad those rivets arent real bolts then you could just take the face off :P

dqlostsoulz

03-04-2009, 02:51 AM

Yes it was a biotch to tape. I finished up the rest today.. :relief: I did a pretty good tape job, now just have to let the paint cure.

dqlostsoulz

The taping was the longest part of the whole procedure. It took about 45 min per tire...

How far are you from orange county? :silly:

dqlostsoulz

03-05-2009, 05:18 AM

I am up north....probably around 6-7 hours....

trdscion

03-05-2009, 05:03 PM

That's what I figured...damn. I'm sure I can handle it, just need to get the right color, I didn't know that Duplicolor cold came out like that - thought it might be more like a chrome. I just need to get my rims repaired, I bought some used ones w/ some rash.

Look forward to next week to see what they look like on your SW. I think the white was good, but w/ the size and style of the rim that the gold will look much better. Good job.

jsingh

03-05-2009, 05:14 PM

wow...that turned out great!

dqlostsoulz

03-05-2009, 06:56 PM

trdscion, I thought the same thing when I saw the gold, but the end results look nothing like the cap on the spray paint.
Thanks to Sciontistical_One for recommending it.

jsingh, Thank you very much

That looks awesome.
I think I'm going to go the gold/bronze route pretty soon too, it's becoming more and more appealing.

The black/silver theme is killing me. :tap:

dqlostsoulz

I dont really car for the car, just the rims. Gives me an idea of how sick they would look if I get the nerve to paint my J2.

trdscion

04-14-2009, 10:31 PM

what sideskirts are on that red/black tC?
Looks like molded OEM, seen it in person before, pretty nice.

And yes that's red tint.

dqlostsoulz
DO IT!! Knew it would look sik, and now seeing it looks even better. Def keep the lip silver though, would look better than all gold.

dqlostsoulz

04-14-2009, 10:48 PM

I am really considering it bro. I would definetly leave the lip silver. What about you. painted your wheels yet??
