Don't be retarded. Not everyone lives fast and the furious every day to need Advans. If you just rollin around town and never race, coopers would work.

i give it to him for originality and the time, geez thats alot of work. the red evo is sick too. however it has to come with the package of wheels, blacked out front/rear lamps, and nice tint. i want black wheels on my apex silver but it will look silly with silver lamps and no tint. how much does powder coating wheels run?

Guess it's time to get ahold of a good powdercoating shop, so I can ensure a accurate color match. Anybody know any good shops in western WA ??
