Im letting it go pretty cheap because it will need some modifications to fit back in the factory openings and the mufflers have a couple scrapes from being low and dirty

My idea for Joe was to rotate them 180 when putting them back in the factory spot, boom hidden scratches.

Oh yeah that would be awesome!! I'm not sure if you would like to part the catback out or not, as I really just need the two muffler sections and I'll have the rest fabricated to my downpipe.

I know it sucks bro waiting for parts, but I really believe the Zele will be worth the wait

Well today was both good and bad.

I managed to find someone who works at my local Yokohama plant so I got a sweet deal on 265/305 Advan AD08s!

And my volks arrived today! Damaged by fedex

It's not terrible, mostly just little nicks and scratches but it's more than enough to bother me.

How were they packaged?

Glokwork · 04-26-2013, 11:38 PM

The jackass literally just put the wheels in a box, which was way too small. No packing material whatsoever. Now he has pulled a 180 today...he refuses to even submit a claim with fedex.

I'm already in a battle trying to get the charges disputed and hopefully get most of my money back.

sfearl1 · 04-27-2013, 12:13 AM

Damn, the wheels are that damaged?

Mr&Mrs · 04-27-2013, 07:19 AM

Sigh sorry man, some of us are just plagued with one little thing after another in this game. Hope everything works out the right way for you.

it's the nature of building custom vehicles. I have had an issue, some big some small, with every part of my build

Glokwork · 04-29-2013, 07:54 PM

Thanks guys and you are both exactly right. I'm still waiting for something to go as planned haha.

My front tires showed up today, rears are on back order.

I am absolutely in love with these wheels (this is the best looking one, only one chip which is hidden by the tire)!

Dat mag blue!

Glokwork · 05-20-2013, 05:56 PM

Wheels have now been powdercoated! Still playing the waiting game on my rear tires though.

The color is absolutely sick. First, we blasted them clean and primed them. Next we used a mirror chrome base coat and finally the candy teal top coat.

This is what the candy teal looks like after its been sprayed and not baked. I love it!!
