No but I have a heat seeking moisture missle in my pocket

 

That would be a tube of chapstick, dreamer.

 

 

Quality Window Tint
614-476-0044

I have been going to them for many years and have had 7 cars and one house done with Quality.

Mark, the owner, is a great guy and uses quality products. For instance, I once had to re-tint a window that got scratched up after 4 years of use, the new tint still matched the old tint. Even Mark was somewhat surprised there was NO fading. The trim lines are so close to the edges, it looks like it was factory.

 

Thanks for the input, Tim.

Did you say the Eibach's slammed the car to "street sweeper" heights?

That is defintely not what I want. I saw MCola's setup at Ray's BBQ and thought it was a nice 1" drop with the Eibachs.

I saw on Tirerack's website that the H&R's drop the car less than 1". Anyone got input on the H&Rs?

 

Wheel ideas...

I know I want to powder coat my wheels to continue this dark theme, but I was trying to decide on whether or not to do the whole wheel. This is something I have not seen done to this point.

The entire wheel black looks menacing. However, I also like the contrast of the polished lip or portion of the wheel against the black. So, I did the following $15 experiment to see how the idea I had of keeping all the polished/machined portions of the stock 17" S2000 wheel unpainted would look.

Here are the results. I like how the Honda center cap works with this setup. Many of the powder coated wheels that don't paint the center cap look odd, IMO.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think of the setup. Right now, I am liking it, but the polished part has too much of a 2D feel, not like the 3D feel and look of a polished lip that I was looking for. Not that it is a bad thing, just different.



Preparation:
Since this was simply an experiment in preparation for true powder coating later this week, I simply used a high performance glossy black enamel paint after taping off the polished surfaces with masking tape.



Cleaned the wheel thoroughly and then used "0000" steel wool to give a slightly roughened surface for the paint to attach.

It took about 30-40 minutes per wheel to tape them off. I did not do that great of a job, though. There were plenty of places where the edge is not straight and clean. If I did it a couple more times with more patience, I would probably get the hang of it and better results.

 

Now that they are on the car, I am really diggin the black/polish contrast.

Ray, I need to get ahold of your guy to do these this week, if possible.

Thanks!

 

no, no, no....the Eibachs provide a mint drop (apprx 1") matched with koni's still the same...BUT the koni's do provide you with 2 perches to put the springs to....the lower of the 2 SLAM the front of the car.....If you do not car about adjusted the heigth of the car go with the Eibach/Koni combo

 

I think once you lower the car it will look good like that (regarding the wheels..totally different also)...my eyes are getting caught up on the gap

 

1" drop, here I come.
