    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.

    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 because they are already powdercoated from factory.

    Don't believe all the people who just say "use sandpaper man". that only takes off the clear coat.

    Pain!
