this is going to be a show stopah

Anything new?

the chrome shop is taking a while with my suspension parts, but i should get them back this coming tuesday.

wish i had money to blow on chroming parts of my car that will never be noticed by 90% of people. maybe do a full ceramic coated exhaust? a chrome oil pan? candy colored brake lines?

Good to see you back around here

picked up the parts today and took a few quick pics. im gonna attempt to rebuild 1 tonight. i say attempt because i took these apart a year ago and dont really remember how the top hat assembly goes lol.

before:


after:




pics dont do the work justice. i think i had my cam set on auto focus which is why the chrome looks a little blurred.

That is sick...How you going to keep it from getting dirty? lol

how much did it cost to repolish the wheels?

umm.. i dunno lol. i thought about that a lot after i picked em up. i might use dupont's teflon spray wax. my friend used it on his wheels and all he had to do was spray water on them to get all the dirt off, no wiping or anything. theres that, or i can hold off on installing the bags till the car gets painted. but i dont really drive more than 5-6mi/day so i dunno.. we'll see..

it was $99/rim for repolishing just the lip

Mr Hoebag doing it big.


You've got my support man =)

i forgot to get the top bolt and allen bolts chromed :facepalm:


edit: just finished all of em. just need to tighten them up and they should be good to go

That looks clean. I wish I could do something like that... too bad I park in dirt.. lol

make it rain!

lookin good still

Thats so VIP. Chrome shock bodies and hats are my ultimate favorite. I cant wait to see what you'll come up with next. Where did you get the bag brackets?

the kit comes with the bracket plates and some rings to weld on. i had the bottom ones welded and shaped so they would fit over and rest on the top perch.
