That's way too much money, I got multiple quotes for 150-200, but like I said my friend does it and I could probably get it for cheaper.

As far as pink, yeah its probably a special order color, for some places, but the powder is fairly inexpensive. So I can't see them tackin too much extra on.

I need to find a means to sandblast them, but I want to try coating my own stuff before moving to someone elses'. But I was thinking if it came down to doing others stuff, have them buy the powder and coat it for free. Until I got good, then I could charge, but its really inexpensive, you just pay for the time to do it, business' gotta make money.

Me I could care less, if I buy all the stuff, coat all my stuff I will still come out less than getting it done. Then I can do all your stuff up here, cause we homies like that.

Oh yeahhhh!! I forgot! Well, either way I gotta wait till I get some aftermarket wheels, then I'll get them powdercoated.

Off topic-- I almost **** my pants this morning, Kyle left to school, and 5 minutes later, some dude is at my door knocking. Says he's the mailmain, I was like "Wtf is the mailman doing bringing my mail?!?" I looked out the window and yup, there he is. I had to sign a package...the whole time my hands were shaky, all I was thinking was "Am I going to get robbed again?"
I hate thieves.... you distroyed my trust in my neighborhood.

Do your neighbors know what happened? I'm sure they saw the cops, but just in case, it'd be good to spread the word. Then everyone will start looking out a little more. Don't get shaky! Kyle needs to train you on self protection! If you don't know how to use a firearm yet, you should learn! I had my house broken into once, all they took was my purse, so I had to do all the calling and, oh yeah, always keep an eye out on your credit report now. I paid for the extra credit watch so I know anytime something is applied for, plus, you can tell the credit bureaus to put your credit file on watch because of the break in. Forgot to mention that before. Anyway, after that, my mom gave me a little baby gun, and it is right there next to my bed. I have a license to carry now too. I keep thinking of taking a class, they have them for women. Maybe we should go together?

^^ I'm down for that. Kyle has a desert eagle (thank god it didn't get stolen) but I've fired it once, and never again. I can't even c*ckthat gun without Kyle's help. But we've been talking about buying a baby gun for me, since the incident happened. We have a home security installed the other day so I feel a little bit better, but it still sucks being home alone. I talked to the neighbors in front of our house, but I haven't talked to the other neighbors... They are either never home/don't answer the door. But at least we are in communication with the neighbors in front.

I don't remember if I mention it at the party but the neighbors in front of the house used to own it. Then they sold it to their niece. Then the niece rented it out to your college daughter and her shaddy friends. I guess the daughter had couch surfers there and a bunch of crack heads that would break in and steal crap. So it could be one of the daughters old friends that knew where the house was and wanted revenge? I dunno. But as most of you guys know, you have to know where the house is at in order to find it...

With the OEM whels I'm not wanting to go subtle. I'll be rocking those in the winter. And white Volk ce28 or Te37 (haven't decide which ones to get yet) in the summer....one day

imo both are very played out, but white on white is sexy.

gram light optimise (fs btw )




i think painting your oem wheels in candy apple red or anodized red would look good...
