wow they gave you 2 sets of valve steams for free? thats a good company!

[Cammaxon]

lol no the kosei k1's have two valve stems per wheel.... trust me I was baffled when i first saw them. From what I could find googling, it's either for
A. Nitrogen filling
B. Attaching a gauge to one, while filling another,
C. A sporty look
lol

If any one knows the true meaning of my 2 valve stems per wheel PLEASE chime in:)

Wow I'm surprised I don't see pics posted yet...

I got too busy to post pics of the center caps on the car but they really made me <3 the wheels. They seemed soo incomplete before.

But they were only on for a short time.... because as you all know winter is right around the corner.

Originally I was going to have the wheels powder coated a nice bronze but the shop that was going to do it was having a hard time finding a powder that looked right.
So i called koehler collision in Winona,
The same place that did the front bumper on the talon, they did a nice, FAST job on that so i figured I would become a repeat customer.

I showed them the pic goodhart posted and they could match it no problem, said it'd be done in a week.

Week goes by, no response I stopped by to check on the progress... NOTHING. They said they couldnt sand blast the previous paint off because it was on there too good. I told them bs, took my finger nail and CHIPPED off 90% of the plastic coating in 30 minutes sitting in the back of their shop.

They were then willing to try sandblasting now that the wheels were almost completely clean. said it'd be done in a week.

1 weeks goes by... nothing... 2 weeks go buy nothing.... 3 weeks go by I tell them if they are not done by the end of the week I was going to pick the wheels up and take them to the powder coating place down the road.

They guaranteed that it would be done by the end of the week..

Called on the day it was supposed to be done by, and they hadn't touched them. I told them I was coming to pick them up.

ONE month of my time WASTED..... and i still had to pay them for an hour of their time.

Took the wheels to the powder coater... decided on a black sparkle because he had some in stock, it looked nice and I was tired of waiting...

They were done in 3 days. They had no problem sand blasting at all and only charged $50/wheel out the door.

So I finally got to put my winter tires on :)

Sucks about the paint shop. I wouldn't have paid a damn dime. Looks good though!

I turned 24 on monday and I finally found a girl that understands, I like cars.

So along with all the "cute" things girl friends get you like a framed picture of you two, she also bought me the Evolution Viii "UK" trunk badge. Seeing as I'm bald, I had to borrow her blow dryer and I threw this thing on today. I looked at a lot of pictures of where people were placing it in reference to the crease and I think I got it relatively close. Not perfect but I'm happy with where it ended up.
