NW Powder Coating quoted $125.00 per wheel that includes the clear coat over the powder coat. American Powder was the same price. The problem I have had with American is that the clear coat on 3 of the 4 wheels have already started to peel on the rims. This was starting to happen at 2000 miles. Maybe this can happen time to time no matter where I got the job done, but it is aggrevating. I would like to give these guys a second chance, but for the $ I am not sure-

I've already talked to him. He's in FL right now so hopefully he will chime in when he's back. I don't see what the big deal is but a few of the tooner's "sidekicks" feel differently. I am just going to let it go...I posted proof but I doubt there is going to be anything to satisfy them.
the tune that i had was the basic bolt on, modified rom from the aktive matrix site http://www.aktivematrix.com/forum/dl...ile&file_id=40, but not all of it of course, actually i don't think that i used much of it at all, it was basically stock except the JDM mivec , that yes, i got from derek.
it also had TephraMod on it...thats it, derek has a boost controller i would be stupid to put derek's tune on my car.
the only person that i talked to about my tune was aaron, he knows that it was a JDM Mivec map...i've seen derek's tune on his car, it looks complete

but 330I and 325I or 330XI all is ok... XI is AWD yes...
all bmw 3 seiers are ok.. but 5 or 7 is better but too luxury and bigger..
but porsche is all better.. and BMW is M3 is overall better performance and handle. Dinan edition is not worth it.. as long it have supercharge kit stage and suspesion kit.. but i rather have M3.. M3 better... new BMW 125i or 128i.. 128i have Turbo inline 6 same M3 but more power.. plus cheaper than M3 v8.
Meredce AMGs is awesome...
