Been on here since about January and haven’t posted at all yet so figure id post up. I drive a 2006 VW Passat with some upgrades. Pt5558 turbo and a all the supporting mods. Here’s what she used to look like up till about a couple weeks ago. ![http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/Bill_Bulger/20130402_171254_zps3982b422.jpg](http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/Bill_Bulger/20130402_171254_zps3982b422.jpg) Via: Pat Jacobs Photography ![http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/Bill_Bulger/facebook_-572596315-2jpg_zpsf8594b33.jpg](http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/Bill_Bulger/facebook_-572596315-2jpg_zpsf8594b33.jpg) And this is what she looks like now with the new color wheels (had to redo them due to the poor powder coat job i had done) : ![http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/Bill_Bulger/IMG_20130618_181902_zps0f022462.jpg](http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/Bill_Bulger/IMG_20130618_181902_zps0f022462.jpg) Sent from my Galaxy S3 ---

that stinks, never heard any complaints about their quality, just the ridiculous turn around times. I had a lot of stuff done there and a few sets of wheels and the work was top notch but took long as fuck. hey where did you get the colored plasti dip from? I’m looking for the anthracite one to see how I like the wheels done before I go buy paint for them. ---
