the sunflwrs somewhat progress thread
Sunday, September 04, 2011 10:50 AM
well, ive started working on the car alot lately because im just plain sick and tired of it being 3 different colors and its a good opprotunity to fix what needs to be fixed, anyways, on with the pics

started off with dumping it in the rear


next came one of my 1/2" hub spacers


decided to keep my 3/8" wheel spacer on too, along with painting, it and the drum black




heres how much it came out, this is with it still sitting on the ramp, will probably sit different on the ground


gold painted rims? yessir


only got 1 rim and 4 center caps done with 1 can of paint, picked up 2 more cans this morning, hope thats enough for the other 3 rims



will have more pics very soon

The size and offset should be on the inside of the rim somewhere. Did you paint your trunk filler panel black?

So... how exactly did you dump it in the rear?



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

why didn't you mask off the inner fenderwell and suspension when you sprayed the drums? overspray does not look classy man =\

good job on the rims tho, they look good.
