Yeah, it's definitely a snug fit with a sleeve and larger bolt. I was shocked to see it do that.Quote:

But I cleaned them, then wet-sanded with 800 / 1000 grit before I started. Did 4 light coats, leaving 10 mins between each coat. Actually got a couple drips last night, so I carefully wet-sanded those out last night and gave it another coat.
They look pretty good as of now. Gotta do the black part on the bottom, then buff it in a few days to get it really smooth.
Fixed lifter tick by changing out my valve cover gasket, pvc gasket, spark plug tube gaskets, and one lifter. Car is silent now with the mew muffler set up.

so i came back from my cruise to see my car with a flat tire at my house. these 3 piece wheels have been a pain in the ass but whatever lol. Took it apart to reseal and im gonna get this wheel repainted. Its got that spiderweb affect going on so gonna take advantage that i had to take it apart anyways.

I would recommend powdercoating it cuz it would last longer.Quote:

Ehh p/c won't really last much longer. My friend who refinishes/sells wheels repaints all his wheels and they last just as long, with a nicer finish IMO. Its just all about the quality of the work.
the other 3 are fine, guess this one didnt cure right or something who knows
I finished installing my new headlights and my body kit just came in so i messed with it a bit
Any pics? What did you go with?Quote:

Mocking up the panel for the JDM switch. Used QuikSteel to fill the gap then dremel it down (definitely went overboard with the amount, LOL). But, once I cut it down its like a glove now (slightly crooked I think). Just gotta refinish it.
