I need a good camera. This was under a street lamp. Still too cloudy today. The street lamp wasn't getting the fender where the pic was taken. You can sorta see a bit of the flake.

Hydro dipped my rims in B&W sticker bomb. Hopefully will be putting these on sometime this week. Just got to clear them. And paint the back side of the rim black.

I have about 75 bucks in it. I have a hydro dip tank. I do it my self. I normally charge 350 for rims 17--18 less for smaller rims and more for anything bigger than that.

Painted my new struts to match the Koni's on the rear. Pretty satisfied how they turned out. Valspar's Gold Abundance High Gloss is the color, if anyone is interested.

Looked out my window at the overly large mound of snow that contains my Cobalt. Hung my head. Closed the curtains. Walked away.

Yeah, about a year ago I went with TurboXS' FL exhaust, which is just two resonators, and at times that can be kinda loud during cold starts. But the sound at WOT is totally worth it.
