Willie's body shop over off of copia and gateway west, him and his dad used to do a bunch of custom low riders and motorcycles, and they do the body and paint on our company trucks.

Nice job bro!

I picked up an 03' Z. I'm thinking about CF side Splitters and front Spiltter.
Mind shooting me a PM with info as to where you got yours?

How much did you have to pay for hardware?

Here is the last picture I have taken of my car since the engine failed...


First step is to remove all 30 bolts from each wheel


Find a safe place to put them if you are going to reuse them:


Next what you want to do is separate the rims by cutting the sealant:



Now that everything is apart...sit back and take a photo to post on social media:


So I went ahead and got the lips and faces powdercoated. The wheels I got were used and had been taken apart once before. I decided to contact CCW directly and just order the race hardware.

Here is what I went with for powdercoating



Next comes the fun part! You have to completely remove the sealant using a razor and a wire wheel:




ready to be put back together:


So next following the advice of the ccw how to video on reassembling these bad boys I went ahead and went to town!

Here are the results:





And of course since Im getting a forged and larger motor, oh and larger turbos I figure I might need these now!

What were the torque specs for the bolts?

Also what did you use to seal the wheel together?
