Just picked my rims up from powder.

Those look great. Not too dark.

Hoping to attempt swapping out my control arms soon. Terrified of ******* up the rear captive bolt though.

The captive nut wasn't bad on mine it was the bushing totally fused to the bolt that made it hard.

Edit.

Some wants my highrise wing. I have to idea what to ask for it though?

$250? It's in the colour he wants and in good condition.

Might be a little high. Maybe like 150-200.

If it's in the colour he wants it should be worth a little more to him, I'd try $250 and see what he says. Doubt he'd find a different one and get it color matched for that.

Yep I agree. A price on something is what someone is willing to pay for it.

This is true. If your not worried about scaring him off start high and be willing to drop to what you actually want for it.
Say 300 and when he offers 250 drop the hammer haha.

Feels like my front rotors warped again. Not sure what I'm doing that's causing this or if it's something else this time.

What kind of rotors did you buy last time? Pads? Bad control arm bushings can feel nearly the same as warped rotors as well.

heeter_33

They just ground them to make them flat as far as I know. There is only 25,000 km on the car so nothing was really worn out. I could tell it was the rotors then cause I could feel it and you could hear it the way it squeaked. The wheel also shakes at >110 km/hr.

I had this issue an balance weights had come off. Check your front wheels to ensure all the balance weights are there.

I thought it was maybe my cheap winter wheels, but I swapped to my summers this weekend and exact same thing happens.

250 including sand blast and a custom color order. Good guy. Dustin sent me his way. I would highly recommend him as well.

Paul at Villian Motorsports has done all my powder coating for years. Great guy, awesome work and cheap prices.

Does he do other painting? If so wonder if he would do a trunk lid cheaper than iv been quoted

Bluelightning

iTrader: (8)

He doesn't do paint. Just powder and anodizing.

cluelessk

Try smaller body shops. They should charge $350-400. Paint materials aren't cheap.

I tried a few, cheapest if been quoted is actually letingham (spelling) guy quoted around 400. Which surprised me . Idk why its so hard to find a black lid or even a black balt at the wrecker

heeter_33

Seems hard enough to find a wingless Cobalt at the wrecker, regardless of the colour.

Was a lucky find, trunk was up so maybe no one seen. Most trunks were already scavenged
