Faces have been clean, stripped, and media-blasted. The gold is all gone. The final finish on them will go on this week, I am going to take pictures, but I am not going to post them until the wheels are done and back together. Barrels should have an update by the end of the week. BTW this is the last picture of the faces until it is done so enjoy:

Barrels have been powder-coated and dropped off at the polisher today!!!!





Also here is a picture of my stock plugs I replaced at 50k miles, misfires? Yeah....

Hardware came in today, very pleased with where I ordered from (good price, fast shipping, good communications, and the product looks great) the company is downstarinc.com and they are located in the US, highly recommend them.

Anyway, onto the pictures, they are a little longer than the old BBS ones, hopefully they fit with no problems

Well good news and bad news. I will start with the good; Brandon was nice enough to completely polish one of the barrels and drop it off at my house to keep me occupied until the rest are done. He does truly amazing work, not only that but he is fast too (this is only one day of work).





.....Beautiful, really amazing work.

....and the bad news... The bolts I ordered do NOT fit, they are too fat. This is no fault of the place I ordered from, all my fault.
