The striping was pretty easy. Easier than I thought actually. I just sat in the floor with them and took my time. I used my index finger and thumb as a guide around the wheel.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

The powdercoating was only $200 locally. The asshat tire place scratched my wheels so they wanted to get them repainted and I said no go. They gave me the $100 they were going to spend to get it repainted and I was only out $100 for powdercoat and $4 for the stripe.

Looks great. It's kinda strange that this is exactly what I want to do to mine. I was thinking flat black or some thing just a little lighter but yours turned out nice.

Well, it's no problem bsmart82 b/c you're in Texas. How about I meet what I think is the owner of the ONLY other RR IX MR in Memphis and he tells me he wants to do the same thing !

Oh and the springs are Robispec

thanks for all the compliments guys. I made such a long thread title so hopefully when someone else thinks of doing it and they search, they'll find my thread. I searched and searched and never found a thread where someone did their bbs's like this.

Found the striping at AutoZone or Discount Auto ... took me 1/2 an hour to put on the striping. I needed a change of pace.


Was like 4 bucks for two big strips.

Wow at first glance, those definitely looked aftermarket.

It looks great.
