One step at time, one step at a time....... you worry about your own damn car. And no, I haven't posted the seats for sale yet. The wheels will probably come next year.... maybe.

It would be about $35 to do the hardware.

I am very pleased to see you went with white. I'm sorry but any other color on that car would have been out of place. Can't wait to see them mounted.

You never disappoint

Thanks man! Yeah I just washed the car yesterday for the 1st time since it's been raining for a week straight. So I got to see everything all cleaned up..... they look tits! I thought they might be too flashy when I was choosing the white color, but they are actually quite the opposite. Nice and clean looking.

I usually go with what Ghasty said at the bottom of his first post. Take a step back and look at it for awhile. If this doesn't work, usually doing something else and then thinking about how you want the car to look works for me.

It's all about the 'vision' you have for it, you just have to find it!

In any event, usually picking the opposite of the color wheel works. Since your rims are gold, a purplish blue would contrast nicely.

Edit wow i didnt read the whole thread lawl. White is sick, keep em clean and wow, just awesome.

BTW WD40 is an amazing water repellent. Great idea! That's what it was designed to do, repel water from nasa electronics. We're going to be mailing you our nuts and bolts soon if you don't tell us how!

I wish I had pics to show you guys, but it's just finally getting nice around here. I have also been swamped with work and even out of state doing installs. So it just hasn't worked out that I'm not working, it's been nice out, my car is clean and my photographer is available. My friend that shoots my car is shooting it for Import Tuner once I get my interior mods done...... so hopefully in a month or two. I will then have some sick pics to show off.

I use the tumbler in the plating tank to plate mass amounts of small hardware.... like the rotor hat hardware that is plated gold in the pic above.
