man she's BEAUTIFUL!! let me ask you something tho..did you paint the rims or took and got them painted? if you did it yourself i would like to know the steps in how you did it...already got my spare rims from the junkyard..

Looks good but you need to either trim the backs of the fenders or do a torsion lift otherwise your gonna rub lock to lock.

Thanks for the compliment.

I did it myself. I sanded using 220 to remove the clear coats so the paint will grab on something then clean with dawn soap and water, wiped down with alcohol, used engine paint on a rattle can as my primer, then a few light coats of black until i got the coverage I wanted. After that, 2 medium coats of gloss black, with drying in between caots. Finally 2 coats of clears to protect it.

I could wet sanded them prior doing the clears, but I might do that before winter.

There are a few people in this forum did theirs like mine and where I got my inspiration. Good luck with your project.

rubbing

Blee,

Thanks, actually I don't have any rubbing at all since I already did TT, plus I have 1" spacers on all 4 corners.
