    I think it looks pretty good. How do they fit? Any rubbing issues?

    I got a little PDR work done this afternoon. kinda spendy but I had a few dents that really were driving me crazy. I really really want to recommend these guys for anyone looking to treat their car to a little PDR work http://dentkraftpdr.com/ Seriously, I was super happy with the way I was treated from the moment I walked in to the time they handed me my keys. :biggthumpup:

    They did my 02 WRX after hail damage. Incredible work. Even took out door dings that came with the car. Was it Don or the other guy?

    Spoke with Don for some time dropping it off but I think the other guy did the actual work. After being treated so nicely I really am considering going back for the few other dings that I didn't do this first time around.

    Put on the summer shoes this morning with new paint.... painted them over the weekend.

    Car is still missing the emblems on front and back. I got the background cleared out (no more neon green) but the chrome stars are really a PITA to clean up. Looks like I will have to continue working on them this coming week (nights) and weekend. I have to get my Black and Yellow theme completed.

    They looked really good! Can't wait to see mine after the Dr. of Mint is finished with them.

    Installed pink Hella Horns on the woman's WRX wagon. Pretty easy. Just need to remount a little farther from the center, and they'll be perfect.

    washed, de-greased, washed again, scuffed, re-scuffed, took some 220 grit to the edges, than cleaned them again, primed, primed again, top coated 3 times and than 2-3 coats of clear and 4 hours later...some "re-born" 03 WRX wheels in charcoal metallic will live to roll another day!

    Why do you say ok? what is wrong with them?


    I have painted my wheels 4 times since i have owned my car, and they last through the season (winters/summers). If you have any questions PM me.

    They are stock wheels lol. I sprayed the black twice and the clear coat 4 times so I hope it last a season. These will eventually be my winter wheels, I just need the cash for some rims for summer.

    Are those flat black (looking from my phone, can't tell)? Either way I like how low profile they are. If they are flat black... it just makes them that much better.





    Clear coat is the key to make it last.... and give it that nice wet look. The paint is just for color/cover.
