    JDM wheel from Japan with gun grips, perforated leather, carbon fiber & flat bottom.

    Installation was a breeze and took me about 35mins.

    Plasti Dipped my lower door trim on one side to see if I liked it. Did 5-6 coats of the Smoke colored Plasti Dip.

    Happy with the results & will probably do the driver side shortly. Wheels go back on this week so I'll wait to mount and make a final decision then.

    Thanks brother.. When the wheels go again this week I'll make a final call, but I think the smoke trim gives the 'sporty' feel I'm going for. Til then, chrome on one side, smoke on the other! lol. #nophotoshopthisweek

    Ahhhhh I want to so bad. What did this set you back? If you don't mind me asking.
    And did you just get the one or two?

    like @SwamppThingg , the weather isn't the greatest here for car modders (maybe jeeps?), especially in outdoor apartment parking lots. Sometimes I second doubt myself if bodykits are even worth it due to badly plowed roads :cry:

    hung my old NJ plates in my classroom and since I never use my tablet mount in the car, put it on my white board! :D

    so now getting ready to finish the rest of my CF hydrodip on my vents... since I couldnt figure out how to disassemble the steering wheel pillars. tried twice. [​IMG][​IMG]
    will update during lunch...

    whelp... finished the last bit of hydrodip I had. turned out pretty good.

    I most likely will buy the stuff again, have more stuff I wanna hydrodip (A Pillars, interior door handles, cup holder, engine covers, etc...)

    but I DO have bad news. some LEDs are not working anymore in the right taillight. not sure when they died, but need to take a look when Im off and its daylight out. Could be something from baking or simple as a loose wire. At least they were cheap. Can always get Valenti's as originally planned before this idea.

    EDIT: just noticed license plate light is out now too, hehe. glad I took a pic.



    Blizzak tires should be going on sometime this week to prepare for more snow..

    What kind of blub lights did you use to make them bright white? Are those easy to change?

    Hey guys, I found it from a local seller here in the LA area. He imports select items from Japan (I think he said he had partners with a shop there).

    Here's a screenshot of the wheel and his seller name. Really nice guy and even threw me a cash discount locally. He assisted with the install. Neither of us had done it before, but only took about 35 mins and mounted perfectly center.

    You can contact him on eBay and see if he has access to anymore of this specific wheel. At the time, he said it was a one-off item for him particularly and that he was testing the US market.

    Oh baby.. Just picked up my children who've been on vacation for 6 weeks. They got a tan. They were pale white and now they're darker (silver). And apparently put on some weight because they're definitely wider.

    Taking them home and will put them to WORK in the morning. So happy to have them home.

    I'm gonna call CPS on you for not putting seatbelts on your children. ;) :D

    How much do your children weigh? If they're under 80 lbs, they should be in car seats or booster seats... ;)
