Mel - You need to go to Elite Powdercoating. They do a ceramic coat, not a powdercoat for the exhaust. Their shop is top notch too. Sorry about Colorlife. We don't go there anymore.

Mounted wheels tonight, they look great. I added spacers too, poke out wheels just enough but I am gettin some minor rubbing on bumps and turns at higher speeds. I may have to go a bit smaller on th rear. But I can drive with no issues so I'll be updating with pics once I get a chance. Prob tomorrow night. Next is vinyl roof and mirrors. I have material just waiting for good day with no wind. Shadowline done, big improvement. Euro plate and tinted lamps tomorrow morning. Getting ready for my b-day trip to the shore this weekend. Headed to AC for a few days and I want the ride to look good.

LET'S MAKE SOME MONEY!! I might actually go to Borgata this Sunday. But I hate gambling with a lot of people at the casino. I like nice and quiet so I go to the higher stakes places. I mean, $50 a hand and $100 a hand isn;t much of a difference.
Now let's take some pix and happy early bday!!!
U can also roll ur fenders if u want.

whats the process of rolling fenders? is it something i can do myself? ive seen the gadget that mounts to the car but im wondering if there is a do it yourself method, i only need a little room to clear. can i bang away (with care of course) with a mallot or something? if not im sure i can find someone to swap 12m spacers for 10mm spacers

yea, if we buy the car im gonna have to do something.. only thing is the exhaust is on my car and dammit i dont want to take it off.. if i have it done i would have to remove the rpi, and weld back the stock one, it just sounds like a pain in the ass... i cant imagine driving my car and it purring so quietly that i cant even hear it.. any recomendations anyone?>
