    of course, what would happen if we were all mods. Think of the fun LOL.

    Corolla-racing wasn't for old-school Corollas, but yeah it went under a while back. It got overridden with spam to the point where no one could post.

    The only time i might get my wheels painted is if i decide i want gun metal again, then id probably just get them powder coated anyway.

    What the hell is "uh oh" supposed to mean? My rims came out nice when I painted them. I guess if I posted a picture of them with one coat of paint before I was done, you'd assume I can't paint rims either.

    Pics of what? And thanks hummer I also think I did good. gold if you're talking about me not painting my rims, I don't know why everyone is assuming I don't paint stuff. Here you go:
    Here's red w/ a silver lip:

    White w/ a silver lip:

    White w/ a white lip:

    Here's a close-up if you want to discuss the quality of my work (which I'm sure would have been next on your roster:(
    [IMG]

    There would have been many more colors, but the rims got traded. anything else you'd like me to prove you wrong on or is this enough ownage for one day?

    The quality of your nut tightening needs work. You tore your nuts up pretty bad.

    those were just made of soft aluminum, i wrapped them up in all kinda of different things, but it doesn't work. I haven't had those on there in forever. But what about the paint on the rims, that was the focus lol.

    macky, I just wanted to see pics of the rims you painted! Why you assume I'm gonna hate on your skills? I just never saw any pics of your painted wheels, that's all. I think you did a good job and they came out looking real professional every time :) It looks even better with the drop...

    Well speaking of quality, what is up with the hood fitment.... or is that the "mad JDM hood tilt yo" lol :D

    I suppose the tilt is introduced to promote airflow under the hood for extra cooling? Well I can understand how that might have a performance gain on a high-end car, but on Corollas and Civics, it looks like there was a front end accident lol, imo. How do you put the tilt on the hood, with washers under the lower bolts?

    Yeah, just looks like a front end collision, is what 90 percent of people on the road would think.

    It doesn't let cool air in more so than it lets the heat out, my car cools down a lot faster. But as I stated a long time ago, that was taken off. Those are old pics.

    It didn't go good with my new hood, plus that has a vent right behind the radiator, that cools it down really fast.
