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.

Sorry I don't.

Do you happen to have the color sky metallic blue? It's the color that Rotora paint their blue BBKs.

I really like that color and was wondering if you can PC my RL calipers.

I took a look at the website you posted but wasn't sure what colors were considered standard or custom. I'm looking for a satin/low gloss bronze (not flat though) for my Type S wheels. What is your process for powder coating wheels? Do you sandblast/remove the OEM finish entirely before painting the new color?

Would you just sell a strut bar by itself? How much would that set me back? Thanks

Hey Ack, are you still doing this powdercoating?

If so, does this mean just the intake manifold cover (that says VTECH) or the whole enormous thing?

-Intake manifold is $40 plus stock (includes polishing the lettering)

Same here. I'm having a hell of a time finding a local shop to powder coat wheels bronze. Please let me know if this is something you can do. Thanks!

I'm actually heading up to NJ in April (weekend of the 6th) and would love to stop buy and pick up a polished IM and PC'd cover. If Ack could help me install it there we'd both save on shipping since I wouldn't have to ship the stock parts back.
