Although I know the J's header is one of the proven headers to make power and save a ton of weight, it's not really what I'm going for. I was never really fond of aftermarket headers anyway since the OEM one is perfectly good at what it does.

These were my two color choices for the wheels. I threw the anodized bronze finished in there just for the heck of it. I actually took it home to compare to my friends bronze CE28s and surprisingly its a pretty damn close finish. However, that wasn't really the color I was looking for. I couldn't make up my decision between bengal silver and super silver for the longest time, until I finally put down bengal silver a few days later. The powdercoater told me it would be done in a week and a half. So I come back two weeks later after I get a call that my wheels are done. I arrive and they walk to me to my wheels, only to find out that they powdercoated someone else's wheels by mistake. Bummer. My wheels are now going to be delayed once again, but this gave me a chance to change my mind after seeing someones wheels powdercoated bengal silver. I switched the color to Super Silver given the opportunity and I couldn't be happier with the decision, they turned out perfect. They came in a nice consistent, flat finish with no orange peel.

Thanks! I can't complain too much.

They turned out to be a little more sparkly than I expected in the sun, but it dulls nicely in the evening light.
