Powder Coating Teaser/Interest Thread

Well I took it to the next step and powder coated my strut tower bar. I will be offering this service to the ACURAzine crew, but want to see some interest first before I go out and buy extra parts. I have pricing as follows:
With one stage colors:
-Strut tower bar is $50 plus stock
-Intake manifold is $40 plus stock (includes polishing the lettering)
-Wheels are gonna run $60 each

These prices are not including the shipping and there is no trade in charge. If you are going to be using my trade in option, I would need to hold a deposit that will be refunded in full once I receive your piece back. If you send an item to me, I would not need a deposit.

Colors:
Please go on http://powder365.com/ and check out the colors. If they are in stock the prices stay as above. If it is a custom color, please contact me for more pricing.

Pictures:

I'm sure you can get two in a box and two boxes at $30 each so $130 total.

$40 for the cover and that includes polishing and the manifold is $60 plus shipping. Turn around time is shipping back and forth plus a day or two max to do the work.

I am selling the bar in the BM, because apparently the type-s one and the base model differ a tiny bit on the driver side holders. Let me know and we can work something out, either you can buy it outright or I can swap with you and just use the bar as a trade in which seems like a good idea if there is any interest for the type-s guys.

50 plus shipping for the valve covers has me sold. But only if you can find a color.
Either this, or im getting them copper plated somewhere. That lets you know what kind of color/reflection etc Im looking for.

The tires would have to be removed because they will melt in the oven when the powder is baked onto the rim. Just text me for a faster response.

Damn. If I were local I'd get my type s wheels powdercoated.

Any chance you do mounting and balancing of tires? I might be heading up to NJ in the coming weeks...would need to have the tires taken off.
