Nice. I'm excited my Wife is getting her car back from the body shop. She backed it into a pole...

What??? Did them yourself?

Staggered357 02-13-2013 06:24 AM

Yes and a buddy of mine... I followed the sticky..for the most part.... Used 400 grit sand paper to rough em up a little bit, then just two good coats of caliper blue, didn't want them to get too dark..waited about 2 hours... Then put the stickers on and two coats of clear engine enamel...have them pre-curing under a spot light for a few hours then will stick them in the oven for a bit...
Not bad for under 50$... Have to see how they hold up... If I had F-ed it up too bad... They were going to get sent to get powdercoated, but I definitely wanted to try and do them myself... I am also going to try and install them...

Thought the CV1 would clear... But had to get a 5/16" spacer

Impressive. What was needed outside of what's on the car and what comes with the Akebono's?

Fabricating space for AR 15 next...

Also I ended up having to need spacers with my akebono and my Vossens..I bought a 7/16th inch (7mm) spacer for the time being but ordered a 10mm spacer from Z1, I also have the extended studs. I was wondering can I use the 10mm with my existing studs or do I need to replace them?
