The kit looks pretty good but the rims, looks like they used a giant painter's brush on it or something, ugh... even for $5 u were better off using that $5 and doing it yourself...

where in texas?

where did you get it painted?

why didn't they take the wheels off to paint them?

why didn't you raise hell when you got painted brakes/calipers/rotors?

Not bad for a 400 dollar paint job, but like maxboost said, only time will tell on how well the paint will endure.

I'll tell you why. because they're lazy fags who do a shit-ass job of painting, they do ZERO prep work, and worse of all, they just don't give a shit. There's nothing I hate more then spending money at a place where the worker(s) doesn't/don't give a shit, whatever the buisness may be.... :rant:

I had a friend who's car was painted at maaco.... it had the warrenty also. the paint looked sweet for the first month... then it started to peel in some spots on the rear bumper, and then the pain on the spoiler started to crack... He took it back to have them fix it, and they just painted right over it. and whats worse is that they didn't even do it in a spray booth, and there was dust and dirt and shit all in the paint. I wanted to kick his ass for going there.... :upset:

oh yeah, they also overspray, lazy shitheads....

moral of the story: never spend under $2000 on a paint job, unless you've got the hook-up

first off you don't just paint rims, you powder coat rims and if they didn't know that I sure as hell wouldn't let them even come close to my car, never the less paint on it like a little kid in art class. Come on man, have more pride for your ride than that.
