lmao! dude HELLA do it clean you won't regret it

oh I will.. you have to remember I'm still in high school money doesn't just come out of no where for me it takes a little while to save for what I want

I'll be hunting around at pick n pull and subway trucks for the SS bumper because honestly I don't see myself paying $400 for an upgrade that is just for looks I like buying things that have purpose as well

I wasn't sure about the wheels at first but after looking at them I am really liking them. My only suggestion would be to do the center caps and lugs black to match. It feels like a little to much to me with them being purple as well.

thought the same thing dude I was very afraid to even touch them
just cleaned them today and the paint isn't going anywhere

plus the point of this whole shabang was an experiment.. I'm not going to sand down the rims and paint them if I don't like the paint on them in the first place

I'm sure with a clear coat over the top when we redo them it will be solid!

yes, you can get powdercoat to be a brilliant, translucent, anodized-looking purple.

the fuel rail and th cross brace are powder, the wiggens fittings are anodized.

WOW dude! Simply amazing! The one thing I wish I would have done is try to paint my rims b4 I sent them off to P/C b/ if it came out like shit they'd be getting powder coated. You know how paraniod I was/still am bout parking and driving with P/C'd rims? ***** ***** on wheels if they scraped. I lost it at the car wash when the worker missed the latch and hit my rim on the "pulley" they pointed at the sign saying they are not responsible. I pointed to him that I was gonna kick his ass! If the rims weren't p/c'd then cops would have never came!

I'm partially color blind...kinda hard to tell what color your truck is. THAT PURPLE IS SICK! Can't believe you didn't etch the chrome for better adhesion of CC it to protect it! Either shit came out sick. It cost me $400 to get my 22's done!

How about everyother lug nut chrome n purple. I have everyother lugnt Chrome and Black. 2 Diff lug nuts too for added wheel protection. With Chrome FOOSE center caps.
