93hatch · May 14th, 2009, 08:53 PM

My rims are curbed to SHIT (stupid girl owned the car before me) and i found a guy down here that will take out all the curb rash and paint them for 350 bucks, now should i do flat black to match the stripe on the hood n shit, or gloss black????? theyre offset 03 cobra rims in 18"

i think flat black looks good personally. besides, if you paint them flat and dont like it, scuff up w/brillo pad and repaint them.

i meant like personally, i just bought a set with a prochamber off of some dude on the registry and im trying to figure out how long its gona take for install when we do it at my friends work with a lift and airtools

Fluffy The Rhino · May 14th, 2009, 09:25 PM

lol

Oh yeah... it was a pain in the balls. I didn't use any airtools, just a lot of elbow grease. We dropped the k-member, held the engine up with a jackstand and a 2x4 via the oil pan. Thankfully we had a lift.

If you work your asses off, you should be able to knock it out in a day. However, if you haven't done it before, be prepared for some long hours of angry asspain. I'd plan on two days just in case.

93hatch · May 14th, 2009, 09:27 PM

i gotcha, my friend whos a tech would help me and my friend, just wana be positive i can do it in one very long shitty day

turbot4 · May 14th, 2009, 09:29 PM

gloss....you get the point!!! i think flat would not look good on this color..

93hatch · May 14th, 2009, 09:30 PM

oooooooooooo i planned on buying black saleens till i found out these being painted would be super cheap

shit dsg FTGDW

Fluffy The Rhino · May 14th, 2009, 09:32 PM

It can be done. I've heard of people doing it in 6 hours, some in 12. It varies based on all kinds of factors.

If you want it done fast, don't take ANY shortcuts. Drop the k-member out and don't forget to pull the steering column out. The starter will have to come out as well. You might not be able to get the top bolt back into the starter... but that's not that big of a deal.
