Just got this done yesterday

Picked up my car from Porter Powdercoating in Anaheim, and they look great. Aside from the fact that they massively overfilled my tires and didn't balance them correctly the first time, I'd definitely recommend them. $55 per wheel.











I know I know I need to drop it, that is what I plan on doing next.

They do calipers as well, not sure how much but it seems to be a long drawn out process, if I did those I'd want them red but I'm lame and don't want to cover up the BREMBO logos hahaha.

Couldnt you have them powder coat the calipers (or paint them yourself) and then sand off the red to show the brembo logo?

I don't have the patience, and probably the skill either to do that lol.

Hahaha! Luckily I tuned Rissa's car so she doesn't have to worry about that.

I can get you black powdercoated rear caliper covers that cover up the rear brakes.

Yeah, it looks nice, but we all know the real reason you did that.

You're as sick as the rest of us with all that ******* brake dust.
