I am going to do my wheels just like those black ones. I wonder how difficult it was to polish that lip?

The yellow one looks cool too, very different.

I hope this dealer is not charging $1500 to powdercoat.

I think for about $1500 they do the powder coating, window tinting and some pin striping. From what I can tell the expense isn't the powder coating but removing the previous coating to get to the metal.

If someone knows who can do this cheaper in the DFW area, please let me know.
