^^^^ My bad!!! I'll post some up tomorrow for sure.

Update:
I picked up the subframes this morning - \\\ BAD ASS /// Both were installed on the car early this afternoon, but were not torqued down or anything. They will have to come back out again anyways. Installed the bushing for the front and rear subframes and are now tighter, which is better.

I gotta say it was well worth it having them sandblasted and powder coated. The pictures in comparison don't get ANYWHERE near like realliferightthereinyourface on how nice they came out. DAMN I'M TIRED...

Here you go...

First, the pics of the special anti-scratch clear coat from PPG (nuff Said), which we might or might not use because it cannot be wet sanded...we'll see. They guys are going to run some tests first on spare parts.

Now...for the second part - The subframes :love:

What appears to be navy blue is actually CANDY PURPLE - It looks dark, but is not that dark.

This rear lower control arm I had it powder coated because it was already sandblasted before I realized it will be replace with A1Racing arms.

The bushings were replaced for the front subframe because I didn't take them out and they cooked. The rear ones I just cleaned them up a bit. They're in great shape and now because of the coating, the hole opening is smaller and the bushings are tighter :naughty:

XXX - I know!!!!! I didn't want to, but they are both back on right now. They are coming back out though.

Tun_x - And the front one is not???

Buckshotglass - LOL. Hey, I don't mind. Thanks for the comment. Go ahead and nominate me. LOL. I don't know how it works......?????
 
I just read all of this, and I must say...DAMN!

But, on your choice of wheels, I found that gram lights have a titan lip, which is a torched look, well it is torched. What I'm trying to say is that if you kept the whole car black then had some crome wheels with the torched lip, it would be tits.

Thank you. Will post some more pics later. The guys got some more work done today. These guys are so keen to detail and so thorough that they actually washed the shop down and replaced all the filters in the paint booth in preparation to paint my car. ME LIKE!!!!!
