    Here is what I'm still working on tonight...














    Everything is painted, just waiting another 30 minutes until the paint is dry enough to pull off the tape...hopefully it turns out nice.

    Thanks (assuming you were directing that at me...if not, let me think you were ) Here are the finished pictures! (sorry for the Blackberry picture quality):















    I'm very happy with how everything turned out. Once I get the seal kit from Greg (it's on the way!!!) I'll be able to put the front calipers on and get pics of the 'finished product'.

    I had some time today so i decided to try out the "ute" look on one of my stock 19's. Here are a few pics of the prep and the finished product.

    I was going to put a wheel on the car but, decided against it because i had limited time.


    The Goal -


    Prep - Bunch of Painters tape and index cards.


    Finished w/ no center caps





    With a center cap -







    Overall i am pleased with how they turned out. Thinking about doing the other 4 in the near future.
