Hesitant on the diffuser. The stripe is only on the hood

Well, quite honestly, you'd hate me if I told you what I gave for them. Bought them from a guy here on the forum in the C7 section. He pulled them off at 1700 miles...mint

Whoa, what, wait, $750 to powder coats you wheels Way out of line on that. I just checked on having mine done gloss black and the place I have always used apologized that they had to raise their rates to $100 @ wheel which I thought was outrageous

I just checked at this one place last week. This place has a rep for doing good work. They quoted from pictures through an email. I was planning on checking around but assumed prices would be close. Never had anything powder coated so don't know what the going rate is around here.

Originally Magnetic Red, yes, then repainted Crystal Red Metallic TC when the wide body conversion was done.

I like it, only things I would change if it were my car is, I would have done the mirrors and rear deck lid spoiler in black and at the stripe just be solid instead of the extra pattern in it

Thank you for posting .... I'm slowly modding my MagRed '05.'
My thoughts .... PERFECT 10/10
I'm going the same direction but stumped on the hood. I think you have give me the direction to go forward.
One suggestion if I may, wrap your rear spoiler in gloss black you can always remove the wrap. Mine is painted black and I love the look with the black halo.
My halo at the moment is black wrap, the only reason I haven't painted it is the wrap is the exact color of the blackout on the glass. I'm trying to decide how to keep that look in paint (and I have to fix the wart hole too which I just wrapped over.)

Yeah I guess powder coating is more expensive here in N Alabama. I found a place with very good reviews that will do all 4 wheels for $650. I should have known better than to ask the OP or to post anything about cost because no matter what price you put on here somebody is going to reply how your getting ripped off because they got it done so much cheaper. I always look for the best price and will pay a little more for quality.

Yeah its a matter of you can rest assured I'm going to shop around and find the best price and quality work available in my area. I'm not stupid or poor so I can pay what I think is fair for whatever I want and don't need you to quote me on here about you can get something done for 1/4 of of the price when your on the other side of the country. I was comparing the first price I got for powder coating vs buying the reproduction wheels.

I think NSF was just commenting on the high cost of things today. I really don’t think he meant any offense to you, nor do I by interjecting here. We’ve talked at length regarding wheels. He’s just not like that. Good luck with your wheels, I’m sure you’ll find the best deal in your area. I shop the same way!

You sold your wheels so that's a good thing
