I paid $940 for everything. That's because I bought 180 rivets from them it was 1 x 180 rivets so $180 plus another $160 for disassemble and assemble back. Just powercoating 4 wheels will cost you $600 if you bring the face to them~

I didn't do polish lip from them. I just did powercoat on faces. I heard wheelflip takes long time so when I dropped my wheels, I just paid them cash right there and they did everything in 5 days. It was pretty fast

Thanks, I am glad I kept vs-xx~

Those wheels and BBK look amazing together. I've never considered F-Sport BBks until now.

How long do these rotors last, I ask because they are $1500 to replace!

i think the f-sport bbk is blue already, why you have to power coat that again?

I have no finger gap in front now~ My fender liners (plastic thingy inside the fender) is like half gone now so when I rolled my fender, I just told them to cut most of it. I don't really have fender liner anymore lol and they hammered the bumper tab so I can have more space.

Oh, my bad on title. I should've said "finally got powercoated vs-xx and got new bbk" lol. I bought f-sport bbk brand new. I didn't powercoat them. I only powercoat my wheels. Haha my bad~ I wasn't clear on the title.

Ahh sorry~ I have no idea what the color code is. I just know it's black chrome finish~
