Nice add placement! Wheels look killer and so does that engine.

I got them done for an incredible $40 a wheel, but I've never seen any other place do powdercoat that cheap.

The custom windshield comment was a joke refering to the trash bags that now consist of the make shift windshield. Lol.

Minor specs on the motor are in my sig. It's getting a custom cam now though.

It's a place a little outside SA, in st. Hedwig actually. The company is called "alloutpowdercoating" and its actually an older gentlemen that goes by jr. That runs this company on the side out in his garage. He's got a professional setup and huge oven though. He said he can fit whole car frames depending on length, and has done side panels for paint booths for a company that contracted him to do so. Hes a real nice guy, and had a badass 3rd gen in the 9's not too long ago. He's since raised his prices a bit though.

Today, I mocked up both wheels on one side today with a spindle just to give a little sneak peak to what's in store for the future. I also wanted to see if the 315's would fit in the front.

Here's a teaser for you guys.






Hopefully it will be on the ground soon.

Thanks, I think it'll look sick once it's on the ground. That's still far off though, i need my rear coilovers, torque arm, and watts link. My tubular a arms are on the way though, so it's a little closer.
