ill get a pic of what the black chrome looks like. so far i saw it on a lambo wheel and brembo brakes at his shop. holy sexy is all i got to say.

mattastick, he explained it to me like this: hes gonna use an airplane cleaner to strip the chrome off, then prime, paint it with special paint and then use a special clear over top of it. then stick it in a wheel spinner thing to keep the paint from dripping. but its 250 to refinish all of them. if i do this then the grill gets blacked out and so will the window chrome and maybe the entire interior too.

i busted the front lip on the way to jacksonville so no more lip so im safe with the black chrome for now.

black chrome does sound pretty sexy...hmm.. what kind of paint is he using and wheres he located? i need to get something painted..

Blind_Shooter

^^depending on how well he does my rim, i might refer him to you if he does a good job. i got a digital camera and ill be in the area saturday to get the rim and sunday for the BUCS GAME sorry im a little excited. btw if your still interested in rims i saw some 17 racing hart c2's with tires for sale for 500. i want to get some feed back from everyone before doing the black chrome. he does other custom paint stuff too if your interested. not sure what all he does yet, i just met the guy but he seems pretty chill, seems like he knows his

ZeroCL

Blind_Shooter

DaInFaMMuS1

My favorite place to be

DaInFaMMuS1

got a love/hate relationship with this thing through our long, arduous journey. Sometimes its tempermental, sometimes its just all out beastly. Currently its a little of both.

South Jersey CL

mattastick

Blind, I'd definitely go with that black chrome... It looks sick...

DaInFaMMuS1

lol no, i love to be in my car driving smartass! I also love to be in the higher RPM's lol.

Blind_Shooter

after fixing my gf's car due to my studpidity once again, i should have the money in 2 weeks maybe less. i just have a lot to take care of right now, so the car has been put on the back burner till i straighten things out

DaInFaMMuS1

why dont u have your car? I feel your pain, i was without my car for a long time and was absolutely miserable w/o a manual tranny car lol.

Hear that bro, financial obligations always get in the way, life sucks sometimes

Nice warm-air intake lol. Any reason there's no intake on the car?

DaInFaMMuS1

The skunk2 IM and TB are HUGE. They sit way farther back than the stock ones, milimeters away from my firewall. I also had to pinch the brake booster to make it fit. The intake pipe no longer fits because of how far back it sits and rubs in a number of places, so i gotta mix and match piping now to get one that fits. So filter on the TB is how it is for now.

1slo23

Thats crazy, i would have though by the size of our engine bays that it would swallow the S2 parts with ease. Anyway, have you ever checked out that company call Spectre Performance? They sell DIY intake kits that come with piping, couplings and can be sent back to Spectre after you fit them for welding and powdercoating

Blind_Shooter

more like i suck sometimes. im alive, im not in jail, and my gf didnt leave me. so i guess life could be worse

ckrowland

u should paint your grill it sticks out way too much IMO

YtseJammer

It matches the wheels and chrome window trim, I think.

Blind_Shooter

it all comes down to personal preferences i guess. i have a love hate thing going on with it. probably will end up doing the outside trim part. but i do think it matches the rims and window trim for now. if i do the black chrome i will black EVERYTHING out. interior, grill, trunk, window trim, everything else is already done *me walking away to take my obsessive compulsive pills*

DaInFaMMuS1

Oh really? Got any details on how to browse or purchase their products?
