Yeah, I think I'll have various wheels in the future like ou weeloTC. Do you have a shop change the tires to each rim? or do you have a set of tires for each set of rims?

who knows...haha, like for instance i installed mine once, then had to take it aprat to install a doc iso cai plate, and now im having to remove it again to drill my hole for my nitrous nozzle, if i had one that was painted and not power coated, chances of messing up the paint is way higher and not to metion just being under your hood can cause problems, paint under a hood looks good when done, but over time fads and chips with the added heat and element that your car may withstand, just my thoughts, must shops dont charge alot to power coat things basic colors, they can do it with other items and save thereselves on cost, my budding had a bunch of stuff done on his bike and they charged him like 50 bucks cause they had other black items to do as well so it was nothing to toss his stuff in with the batch

someone molded it on a NBM tc and i wasn't digging it, the rear just looks way too long on the sides when molded, the line breaks up the kit and the bumper and makes it not look so big, i would try to photoshop it first, but i dont think you will like it as much

can you post pics of the back, so we can see how it sits on there? i'll probably mold the front, b/c i don't want that gap, but i have a dark car so i'm thinking the line won't stand out much
