I agree with asking him to send another set individually wrapped. How much was powdercoating the bolts?
I do all my own powdercoating, so it just took the cost of the powder and an hour of my time.

I knew ordering them they would not be powder coated, but yes Max i got most of my information regarding the lugs from you. How much would you charge for 20 lugs shipped?

And Rios, did he send them all together loosely in a paper bag? Wondering how much it would be to get them powder coated at a paint shop...because im sure as soon as i torque theses you can say good buy. I mean i geuss i got 20 lugs for 20 bucks in the end?

Yes loosely but they looked powdercoated to me. They were in immaculate condition with not chips marks etc and took no hurting from torquing them down....

Just a note the RED lugz listing notes the paint could be chipped etc...

There is no note for the black ones.... I think the black ones are powdercoated.

That sux a big one the Red's you received are simply painted.

Ive learned a long time ago when you buy something of ebay for that much money that i should expect as much. If your going black than this is good. Im going to make a official Ebay thread soon. Gunna take forever but why not

And can we get some pictures please Rios? thanks for the input

Got me an eBay AP1 front lip... and it doesn't fit - it ain't wide enough.

I emailed the seller - he replied that it's made for JDM cars, and that I should seek professional installation services.

My reply to him:

Its urethane isn't it, have you maybe tried heating with a heat gun/ hair dryer and stretched it out 3/8" both sides?

Tried stretching it by hand with some heat gun action... I'm thinking maybe tie it to a tree and persuade it with a 10,000 pound come-along tied to another tree
