Let me know what y'all think. Installed these Friday, just now getting around to putting some pics up. They look sharp in person and definitely stand out with the white cross tubes and logos. In the sunlight they look a little brighter with the metallic flake in the paint. I had Shane with Premium Powder Coating (GrocerygettinV) do the work. I must say it was a solid job and easy to work with!

I was going to have a shop put them on but decided to just do it myself. It was more time consuming than anything, but was not a difficult task and took about 4 hours total. Bleeding the brakes was the worst part. It still stops, so far so good! lol

Thanks! I was going to do red at first, but everyone has red or yellow. So I went for the Zr1 look and it also ties in with the blue on the emblems.

Looks awesome Chase! If you ever do some engine work be sure to send me that blower lid, or ill send you some powder for a local guy. Blue case with that stainless pieces in white would look tits.

I love the blue with the black. I just pulled my graphite wheels too, let me know if you are interested, ill be down for the mile in October.

It's tough to capture the beauty of this stuff with cameras, this pic gives an idea of the metallic flake.

The other thing is that the coating on those should outlast your car. Probably close to 10 mils of powder on them, and the logos are cleared over as well.

Thanks! Definitely will let you know about the wheels, I was debating getting them already. I am actually taking the car to the dealer tomorrow...the supercharger just started making the bearing noises today, it starts out quiet but after driving a little it gets annoying & loud.

A coated lid would look sweet, I was thinking about polishing it out also.
