Yup that is the new Hotness. I wonder how those would look on a silver eclipse?

Can anybody make me a Sig Pic? The three I have up there kind of suck.

45$ a wheel is pushing it but since they are taping off the edge thats fair cause th tpaing takes time to get right.

100$ a wheel is outrageous.

(used to work ina powder shop)

average price should be 100$ for 4 wheels or 25$ per wheel no masking work or sand blasting.

HA!... $25 per wheel would be like a godsend to me, EVERYWHERE I've checked around here has been at LEAST $100 per wheel ;(

actually, for $45 a wheel it includes a chemical dip and sandblasting and masking work to keep the polished lip. don't sit there and tell me it costs more because ive actually talked to the place on the phone and have an appointment setup to do.

furthermore.. why would i send you my wheels if its going to cost more doing it that way.

siueclipse i was actually speaking to the other guy(darktalon) that cant find a better deal then 100$ a wheel,

45$ for blast and dip plus maskin and powder is great.

are they acid diping it or just usging a strong degreaser?
(most powder shops use a big cleaning line with jets n such and then dry it is why i ask)

good luck and i hope they turn out great do double check and make sure you get glossy or flat whatever your preference is there are many types of black customers forget about.

Here's another Eclipse with it done, I posted these pics a few weeks ago. Looks badass IMO.

Also Siueclipse, your car is fucking sweet! I think I've watched all your vids lol.
