C8's on EJ8's are SICK! Especially bronze. Haha you don't have to get my wheels if you don't want to, I have another buddy interested in them as well.

so are u going to do a bronze theme now? cuz gunmetal, red, and bronze would look wack haha.

im just getting started with it. the theme will come in time ha. idk what dalton used to do his wheels some wheel paint but he did them in a gun metal color and it turned out pretty good might give that a shot. if i keep it bronze i would probably just do bronze wheels black erry thing except lcas and vc. keep the red lcas and still do the wrinkle red vc

Duplicolor makes a spray paint specifically for wheels (high temp), I do believe they have a gunmetal color available.

Kind of on the expensive side, around 7-8 bucks a can, but they're totally worth getting because that paint turns out really good on wheels. I bought 2 cans of white a long time ago for my old 14" look-a-like slips and I loved them.

make them gunmetal! would be sick and unique. ive seen 10 million set ups with those rims in broze on black ek's.

yessir, i would love them in that color too. i have gold and bronze on like alllll my cars that had rims time for something different.

im going with a bright metallic blue i think not sure if i wanna go that bright but i dont want silver thats for sure lol

got my final box with my exhaust in it, and should be getting a little something else for it on Tuesday

picked up a set of tein coilovers on my way to canada today went to put my exhaust on yesterday and the flange on my cat was fuqd soooo i ordered a test pipe, time to throw all that and my new rear bumper on when i get back home!

small updates. tore out the back seat today still need to remove buckles and what not.
before

after

the teins i picked up were looking ratty so i hit them up with some paint.

now

nice. u should weigh the back seat i need it to add up my gross weight loss lol!

i have a digital scale for weighing my bikes ill hook it up on that bitch! haah

do it dude! i know the spare tire and jack are 35 together to thats what you lost with not having those.
so a b18c is 80 lbs more then a d16 and youve so far deleted back seat, spare and jack.
your stock weight with d16 is 2513+ b18c= basically 2600 lbs - 35 from jack and spare 2565 then - your back seat is where you stand!
get rid of ur ps/ac/cc and get some rims and you should see 2500 lbs!

i dont have ac! haha cruise is going to come out when i do my suspension and exhaust this week.

nice. w/ a little more reduction you shouldnt have a problem getting it back down to what it was before the swap

havent updated this in a whileuch. weksos is breaking my balls so i havent had much for new stuff until today. bmw bottle caps with a brand new falken ze512s. going to strip the pink off tomorrow and hit with a nice dark silver.

Good name brand part, good look! Its nice to see more flat style mufflers than cans. Not bad
