Been a little delay because the person I bought my wheels off got scammed during a wheel rebuilt by someone named ronnie in SD. Goes by the name @wheelbuilt_ronnie on ig. Charged him $1300 and used old gold bolts (rusted in 2 weeks) that didn't even match 24k gold. Not only that but the refinish was not done properly. Long story short, I had the wheels fully refinished again by @dipsht and the hardware/bolts taken out and polished again so that it could once again be dipped in 24k gold. Dipsht just updated me with this pic. Bolts not dipped yet but it looks squeaky clean

Here's a before shot so you know how it came in as a reference
And here is all the pieces polished and apart. I haven't seen the person yet but judging through pics alone, his work is remarkable so I would recommend him. I will give you my final thought once I get the wheels soon!

My bad but I've got some terrible news. About to head to sleep but I figured I should tell you guys that I got hit n run a couple hours ago while parked in a corner spot. This is the second time I got hit in two weeks.. First one was minor so I didn't bother sharing. But this one is pretty bad.. So there will be a long delay. More sad that the diffuser is broken because it's so hard finding one of those. Can I fiberglass repair something that badly broken?
Minor one. Accident on second day of school.

so sorry to see these pics. People really can't judge distances and depth perception. That rear can be repaired, it's just a matter of how many hours labor compared to buying a new one. I think you could salvage it if you give the insurance a quote for an authentic ings rear. Hope it all goes well. You can get the led rear reflectors now.

Thanks! Yeah I know.. your reputation is what keeps your business going on. Scamming doesn't get you far in the long run. Sad there's people in the car community like this, but it's whatever. About to come back with a bang. Wheels and a new grill go on soon.

Threw all the camber arms on and I'm satisfied with the rear but I want to get a little more in the front so I'm going to go lower to see if I can get another degree. Don't mind the stock wheels and the dirty car. I haven't washed it since the hit n run. Picked up a grill as well!
