I really like the continuity of design you're achieving by having your own components manufactured.
Thank you sir! This is the look we were after industrial/Race look.. The colors & components are working great.. it is a reflection..

Good luck on the thrash and look forward to seeing it at SEMA!

Default What finish on the uprights?



Nice detail on finishing the stock Uprights. Did you powder coat or hard anodize them? Also did you press out and re-install the upper ball joint? Was masking the part a pain?

Billet trunk hinges were not in the budget.. We need to leave some of it for gas money.. The trunk is not a focal point in the car.. so could not justify the cost for billet trunk hinges

The sub-frame is powder coated.. the rest is painted.. Gotta thank Jay/Jamess113 for helping on the paint formula for the grey & helping on getting correct flatting agent for the colors..

Masked control arms & uprights.. painted them
