Looks damn good, but I already knew it would

Now you just need a Raptor or WS6 hood

Vince, Im with you man. The pictures dont even do them justice. They complete the car. I would be happy even if i didnt put the blower on.

Tony, I plan on getting a hood sooner or later, but I want my ATI kit on first.

Dave, You did all you could. Thanks for staying on top of it and keeping me posted.

Rob, Ill go down to the beach or something this evening and get some more picks and send them your way. Thanks for hosting them fast and sytaying up late.

I believe someone asked what I do. I am in the Finest Navy in the world. I just got back from a Ten month Deployment in the Gulf and you guys know how it is when you have nowhere to spend money...... it just keeps adding up.

Anyone else having problems seeing those pics? Sometimes they work, sometimes they have a red "X" box showing. Strange

Kyle, go with Mothers Billet. There is no other metal polish that I've used that works better. I don't polish the actual bolt area, just all around the lip, spokes & centersection. The less touching I do around the bolts, the less small scratches, which reduces the need to polish that area a lot.

Tony, I'm not sure why you're not seeing the pics all the time either. Thought it may have been a bandwidth issue but we're good to go there... anyone else having trouble seeing 'em?

Kyle, get back to work bro! Don't you do anything at work besides sit around and read LS1Tech all day??? Hahahaha...

I'm just giving you a hard time... believe me, I know it's deserved. I think I recall being right there with ya for a few of those years. All those days scrubbing those darn launchers... and Jer, well we won't mention him. Ah, the memories...

HA HA Tony. Thats the plan for this evening. Im going to go buy some of that polish and put a few coats on and go take some pics. Hopefully the sun cooperates with me.

Dave, Trilogy, Did you two have any problems with rubbing in the rear???????? I rub a little only on the passenger rear. It is very faint and only over big bumps at higher speeds. I have the prokit and revalved bilstiens. I wonder if i should roll the fenders a little. Whats the best way?? I dont want to use a rubber mallet.......
Thanks,
Kyle

Congrats on the wheels! They do look very nice in person and really add to any car, but the LONG WAIT does SUCK!!! Mine took over 18 weeks! But they get stares everywhere I go.
Any reason you went with 9's and 10's vs a wider size?

I use Mothers Billet polish on my iForged wheels and it works great! I can't find it around here so I picked up 4 cans right from the Mothers display while on the Hot Rod Power Tour. You might try Jeg's or Summit Racing if you can't find it in your area.

hey nasty, i use mothers on my TTII's, or i did till my Z's been at allen samuels for a few weeks. If you want i'll let you try some out, thye have it at o'rielys on everheart, talk to vince, we could have a wheel polishing party since it takes so damn long to polish, oh yeah and finish them off with a coat of wax, sometimes it holds the shine longer. If Kevin checks this i'm gonna need the driveway, finaly got my damn QTP's in after 3 months.

Nice wheels, hopefully i'll get to see them in person, kinda funny that 18" is almost as tall as vince.
