Nice find on the rims! They look pretty wide, are they 7.5 or 8 inches? I don't have my car on the road yet but my konigs have the 38 offset and are 7.5 inches wide and they stick out just a little so I'm worried about stone chips.

That header would look brand new if it wasn't for the little scratch, great job cleaning it up. Your car is coming along nicely. b

Thanks man. I was looking and looking around for them until I found them, I guess patience is the key word here. :bounce: The RNR are +38 and I believe they are 15x7 or 15x6.5 ill have to check on that. But the black ones are 15x7 +38 and the sits nice with no wheel rubbing. With my headers that was my first time trying something like that and I did a good job on them. I was happy with the end results. b

Thanks, sorry for not being clear about it. I ment the final compound. Didn't say which one it is. I like blue magic over mothers.

The Compound that I used was Mothers. I used Mothers just for the fact that I like their quality and also because it was my first time doing something like that. But at the end It came out looking good and I was satisfied with the results :mrgreen:

 

How's your car coming along?? It's been about a year since an update, interested to see what's going on

How's it going man. As for me everything Is going ok.. Yeah It's been a while since I have had an update on my build. The truth is I really haven't slap anything to My Rexx yet , so it still looks the same. But i have been collecting some parts with a red tag on them :bounce: and just trying to collect as much as a can of those before i start buying other parts. But those little red tags can get pricey at a point but at the End I like them and they look real nice and clean. :mrgreen: But at my expectation I have a long way to go. So When ever I'm available and Have time I'll take some pictures and share them..

Indeed, that thing is like new! What did you use and how do you go about getting it to that kind of finish?

Thanks bro for being my first time doing this I think I did a pretty good Job.
I used three different wet sand paper 400,800 and 1000 grid. I started with the 400 grid. I started sanding it and took as much as I could with the first pass. Then I moved to the 800 grid and repeated the process for 800 and 1000 grid. After that I was done with sanding everything I started polishing everything. I used an aluminum polishing compound till I got the final finish.

 

nice, what did you clean the headers with? looks brand new. btw, wouldn't this be an ed8 instead of an ef?

 

interesting danny, I got dan's old stainless dc headers. guessing you cant do much to keep the purple'ish shiny look?

wetsand and a metal polishing kit worked well on my hytech, then once it was cleaned up put it back on(using gloves so you dont get fingerprints over it) spray wd40 on it and fire up the engine, it'll go a nice goldy colour then

I was looking at the rota rip offs. I can't imagine what you paid for these...

Thanks Bro. I actually got a good price for them. The only thing it was an Hour drive. That was the only bad thing the long drive to pick them up but it was worth it. :mrgreen:

Wheels look great and those caps are really going to complete them! An hour long drive for those doesn't sound bad at all to me right now...just drove 20 hours round trip to pick up my wheels.

Yeah I guess an hour drive was not bad at all compare to what you drove. But at the end its worth the drive.
