Rims look great, that welded spot on the lip scares me a little though...

Its the inner portion of the rim. It wasnt ground down for strength purposes.

Is the weld safe? dont know much about welding and not cracking on anyone, just would be scared of going down the track at 120 on that.

Ill be more clear. The rim crack was a hairline crack, not a complete crack all the way through. The rim held air and was functional. I am not concerned

A few more things came back from powder coat. Had my upper intercooler pipe and and intake pipe done in a wrinkle black. As expected Unique Finish did an amazing job. They look awesome!

Before Picture:



After:











I was extremely tired of looking in my engine bay and seeing RUSTY nasty parts. So I decided to have Unique Finish heat coat my Exhaust Manifold, Turbo Hot Side and MAP 02 dump.

Before pictures:






After:























WOW! The coating came out absolutely amazing! Extremely clean looking and exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks Eric! I really appreciate it! There is still a lot more to come! Calipers, whiteline products, Tranny, Transfercase, Rear Diff, front lip, vinyls, GoPros, Dyno tune and corner balancing still to come!

Then photo shoots, videos and hopefully a magazine!

Ok guys... Photobucket is back up and working. All images you should be able to see!!


As an Evo owner let me tell you how the paint on the brembos SUCK! Well my front calipers looks like absolute crap. The clear was peeling and the paint was fading. They looked pink and made the car look like garbage. So I decided it was time to have them redone. I wanted them done professionally with Powder Coat and Clear instead of a backyard job with paint and clear from a can. After the amazing work Shaun did on my rims I had him do my calipers.

When Shaun does calipers he does not cheat one bit. He completely disassembled the entire caliper, pulled the pistons out and everything, coated them and then rebuilt them. Man when i saw these things finished i was speechless. Shaun is extremely talented and definitely a perfectionist. My brembos look amazing!

On to the pictures!

Here is what they looked like before.








And the after pictures!


































































































I cannot wait to get these on the car and into the sunlight! Shaun did an amazing job and was extremely intricate with his work.
