it's on eibach's right now. but i dont have the money for a diff drop and/or coilovers. this was a cheap alternative to powder coating. however, i might have to if the paint starts chipping like crazy.. haha

yeah, i used their primer, enamel spray paint, and clear coat. i recommend laying down two thin layers of enamel paint then a medium layer. if you do thick layers three times i think it chips easier. and i did three coats of each. they feel the same as stock if you put clear coat. google how to paint your rims and you'll find a LOT of DIY. do a lot of research.

So St. Louis got a ton of snow last night. But I was able to shovel it all so that I could take these pictures. Enjoy the eye candy. Tell me what you think.
