Default New Car and First Mod

Hello everyone! My name is Bryson, I've been looking over the forums for months now... and I finally bought my new 09 tc.

Here is a picture of it before and after the first mod I did... powder coating the wheels.

Before.




After.

Nice tC. I am going to get my rims powder coated as well. How much did it cost.

I did them myself... it cost me around 200 to do them and one full weekend. It is insane stripping them. In order for them to be powdercoated they have to be stripped to raw metal via stripper and glass beads/sand blasting.

Pain!
