Is your rear badge blacked out? Where you get it?

The bowtie? Comes in gold. You can order the LED in any color. I painted the middle myself.

Drove my new to me 2023 home. 650 miles today after 250 yesterday afternoon. Amazing. . Usually that many miles has some part of me or another mighty tired or sore. Used both heating and cooling as morning was below freezing but the days warmed up.

Officially got the rims powdercoated white. No more hyperdip, gotta get some black lugs and paint the calipers though. Still looks pretty clean! I went to take em to get em painted white, but they painted em black and had to redo them. Luckily, they did it in time before I had to leave. I talked to quite a few powdercoating companies about powdercoating the forges rims. Many many refused, I talked to this shop and he said, they will only do forged wheels if they are oem. He said you can't trust what is in other aftermarket forged rims, but oem they do all the time. I trusted him, and sure enough, no problems. So if you have factory forged rims that you want powdercoated you should be fine.

Nice job, congrats. The color combo is not my cup of tea, but this was done tastefully, and you've given yourself a pretty unique car.

...so do you also have a brake dust plan now?

Couldn't have said it any better.

Zl1addons wicker bill. O and removed the union sticker bc with all the clear coat puddles on these cars they should be ashamed

Buellrider · 12-22-2023, 08:34 PM

Machine polish, wax and ceramic coated. Then Christmas shopping.

Booher · 12-22-2023, 09:25 PM

Roflmao, no, just a great timing photo with someone in it, hah. The brake dust is pretty nuts after two days of having it, I can see this is going to be fun, lol! I'm planning on buying a ceramic coat kit and applying it to them. I heard putting it on the calipers helps a lot with the brake dust. I figure, worst case, I can always get the stop tech ones with less stopping power but no squealing and little brake dust. (So I hear). I appreciate the input guys, thanks!

Installed Bilstein height adjustable coil overs. Rear is done, working on the front now. Pretty simple install so far.

LOL, that lady looks like she's loaded for bear and know's it. Look at those thighs and calves. She could easily squat 300+ lbs. The flannel says it all. She got tough either on the farm or out in a logging camp.

Unfortunately for you, good sir, you parked in her spot.
