CHiLD's EG *BUILD UP THREAD*

[Mr. Jollypants]

What paint did you use for the Valve Cover? I'm digging the flakes.

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

What paint did you use for the Valve Cover? I'm digging the flakes.

Its just a regular spray can of a dark silver mettalic and then i cleared it with clear effects or some crap like that. Its just a clear coat with crazy mettalics in it. All autozone cans. I primed it with engine enamel primer to stand up to the high heat.

More pics of the whole car with the wheels on tomorrow. After putting them on and reducing a ton of road noise, i realized my right wheel bearing is going bad and didnt feel in the mood to do pics anymore.

last shots with the steelies

The reason for having to get some wheels asap.

The newness

The concept of Drag's with Rays lugs makes me giggle.

 

[CHILD]

i know they dont fit, and i had the rays lug nuts on my 05 rsx type S which have factory enkeis. that ride was totalled, and i snagged those off of it along with my takata harness.

 

[Eran]

I'm just teasing. Funny to see though.

 

[CHILD]

the fakeness of my rims made me snatch the center caps off already lol. I'll be buying one wheel at a time of something authentic......haven't really settled on what wheels i want.

 

[Eran]

Put them back on with some tape over them that has "Work" written in crayon.

I know what you mean. I can't decide which wheels I want either. There is a dude locally selling the work version of your wheels for like $600. One wheel is bent to s**t.

I'll let Jason tell me what wheels I should get.

The ODB needs some Dunlop CP-F's in 15x7 with a +35 offset.

I now know what I must do.

 

[Eran]

Brice has some gunmetal 16" OZ Superleggeras for $800. Denny's selling some blue powdercoated 15" ATS Complites for $800 as well.

Either of those would look sick.

 

[CHILD]

damn, i cant find deals like that near me for s**t. I swear soo many people ride on knockoffs and love em or they want 2 grand for curbed work emotions. i want to move back west.

 

[Eran]

They're both willing to ship. Sell your Drag's to some shitbrick local for like $900.
