lookin good! the reason this damn thread has had so many views in such a short time is the fact that you are one of the few people not just on scionlife but scion in general that is doing things right, and people appreciate that so to speak. Its so rare to see a nice tc compared to say a civic hatch or even a rsx...so major props to all your work man! cant wait to see these boys finished!!

where do you find these wheels... I have seen many threads where people have found wheels that need some "reconditioning" for dirt cheap.

Any more progress pete?

it looks like it worked really well though

i started with 400 because there are minor gashes in the lip that would take for ever!!!!!!! if i started with 800. 400 is just faster and ensures that ALL the major scratches deep and small get sanded down and eliminated... thats why i started with 400. the LMs have grooves on the outter lip and inner ridge were the face mounts which needed to be sanded down smooth. 800 woulda take for ever lol.. thats why i had to start at 400. it would suck to have a fully polished lip with deep scratches.

TY TRD93! much appreciate the comment!

and no the NES game i will not be getting rid of sorry lol....

im taking a break today but ill start again monday night so expect pics monday or tuesday again.
