Took everyones advise and just ordered my paint. Can't wait to install it but I noticed that it should be applied between 56-70F. It's like 98F where I live until the suns drops, then it gets in the low 70's. I may have to wait a couple of months before tackling this project.

^ the other thing that really helps.....
Grind off the ridges from the casting flash on the calipers.
It's not hard to do & really improves the final look of the job.

Thanks for the tip...will do. Nothing worse than getting through with a job like that and looking back to say "It looks good, but I should have..."

You guys weren't joking about the service at Tire Rack. I received my order confirmation via e-mail at 4:02 and another e-mail @ 6:08 confirming shipment. Now that's fast.

Those rims are really nice. I bet they look great in person. Did your girlfriend chicken out?

I'm not sure if it's the way the car is sitting but it looks like there is no drop in the front. You do have Eibach's, right?

Your life sounds as crazy as mine. Spent 2 wks in Calgary, got back August 1st. (weekend was a loss), had Coast Guard duty the following weekend and I'm heading out of town tomorrow for the weekend. Sometime soon I would just like to relax at the house and drink beer in the pool.
