Yeah, the knob looks good but it sit too high

Next week. D&V has it right now.

Just got off the phone with Len at Figure Finishing regarding my wheels. They have to special order the lazer crystal powder from Oregon and it'll be here Fri.

They're going to do all 4 wheels in lazer crystal, the nismo inlays in hand-painted red/white enamel (with hardener) and then finish the whole thing off with a satin clear coat.

The car should be ready Mon/Tues at the latest.

I have to talk to the guys at Daedalus when they get back from vacation regarding the headlights.

Really stoked about the wheels. They're gonna be sick.

Where is this place you're getting the wheels done? I thought you were gonna send them to Mike the powdercoater.

D&V has a shop and I got to check their work (they were hauling in some lambo wheels while I was getting my lights done). This saves me the fairly huge expense of shipping my wheels and being without a car. D&V is storing the car plus is took care of removing the tires plus mounting/rebalancing afterwards. Just way more convenient.

I wanted to use Mike and if I lived anywhere near Georgia, I would have. Shipping calipers around is one thing, shipping your wheels off is another animal entirely.

Yup makes sense. Can't wait to see how they turn out :tup:

So here's the shop's website that's doing my wheels:

Check out the crazy GT-40. This guy does some really crazy things with powder. Pretty cool.

Oh and with the enamel inlays and additional clearcoat the price ended up being significantly more than what Mike would have done it for so if you can live without your wheels, Mike is still the best bang for your buck out there.

D&V is going to call the powder shop tomorrow and "work on the price" a bit. Seriously, I'm really in love with D&V.

That Ford GT is sick, sick, sick

lol. I wonder how much this cost:

lol too much

The level of detail is retarded considering that's all powder:

""Black Jack" base with "Astatic Red" and "Bright White." High gloss clear powder top coat. Liquid blue base/clear center caps. Plastic bolt heads were discarded, and the holes were drilled/tapped and received real chrome 12-point bolts."

Where might I get s set of those floor mats? Who makes them? I need something that fresh that I can also just hose off. I have to drive home with my shoes off after work so as not to ruin my pretty carpet ones :tup:

Oh, the work is fantastic. I'm just not sure I'd want these Texas Flag Rims on anything. :icon17: But if it makes the owner happy, then great.

That's exactly why I bought them.

Those weathertech badges peel right off (no heat needed). I relocated them to the top/center of each mat.

I then bought these:

...and put them where the weathertech badges were. Wish they were a little bigger but whatever.

Weathertech also sells actual rubber mats but they aren't that interesting.
