WOOOOO!!!!!! I just spray-bombed my hood black because the shitty gel-coat was starting to fade... Never do that **** in an uncontrolled environment. I swear I lost a whole can of spray paint just because of the wind. Now I just have to mask and clear the body color stripes me and my buddy put on!

Well good news and bad news. Bad news is the wheels wont be cleared in time for NY. Good news, I'm still rocking em anyways. So last night I finished having my tint redone. Then headed to the shop to finish my wheels. I was mainly wet sanding at 600 to get all the lines in the wheel going one way. It's a long process but well worth it. Well I got to a point to where I sanded threw my fingers, no joke in 3 spots on my fingers I was bleeding from the skin gone! So after some discussing I decied to just get the wheels to about 95% rock them to NY and then come back finish when I'm not as rushed and then clear! So since they didn't need cleared I put them on the car last night. I'm happy with them, I will say I really wish my other wheels woulda worked out cuz I liked them a lot but ehh whatever. So heres a few pics of how she looked with me walking into work this morning. See note about 3rd pic....





OK this is for everyone that told me I was full of **** when I said how far extra 20mm would poke on my car. I stated the 35ET sat flush on my car and was told I was wrong. My other wheels being 33et +20mm spacers and everyone said there was no way I would poke that far... (pics back in the tread somewhere) Well here are my new wheels with a 35ET sitting flush...

Im at 24 gtf. I WISH I could go lower but if anything I might go up! On my stock wheels I was fine, but with these I rub on the smallest of bumps or any turn over 20mph!
