Very nice. Why does this parking lot look familiar.

x2, looks bad ass... did you color sand it at all?

all i know is my painter hand sanded the whole car to bare metal, and the paint is a "single catalyst" satin black. and he sprayed it but no sanding afterwards. i had the bumpers, doors, hood, trunk, spoiler and fillers off
but...it shows more fingerprints and dust than regular paint.

thanks for all the compliments:biggrin:

cj thats a sweet setup.

 

[CJ's6]

Thank You. It took me a while to decide on the wheel choice. The Holeshots are different, and bs can be custom ordered. They also offer upgrades to their wheels. Most importantly (MADE IN THE USA).

Thanks for all the compliments. I bought this car new and it has been a ton of fun. I finally got it repainted (took 7 months) but it was done right so i did not mind the wait.

I don't know about anybody else, but this looks really awesome! I have been trying to find a place to get my rims rechromed but I may go this route instead. That reflective tape really sets them off nicely.

After considering many wheel options i opted to stay with the original 87 wheel which we all know screams Grand National just wit more of a sinister look to me. I still love my AR torque thrusts , just changing the look for a few months. Better than leaving a 2nd set wheels to rot away and take up garage space.

they were easy to do. First i sent them to the powder coat guy to get then sand blasted. i opted for urethane paint with clear coat rather than powder coat because you can get a much higher gloss with urethane in my opinion. So off to the paint shop and wallah high gloss black stock gn wheels. i then wanted something different to make the wheel pop, so i added a reflective black 5/16ths vinyl stripe around the perimeter of the wheel so when on coming lights hit it lights up. i just used the stock lug nuts
