That thing does look amazing!!!!!!! I was gonna say though I double glanced at the pic and saw rear brakes/rotors behind the front wheels so I had to re-read your post again and sure enough its a photoshop.

Craig dammit, how long did you work on those tailpipes? Thats just way too clean.
Craigster took custody of my corvette when I relocated to Colorado. The transport truck couldnt make my deadline so I let him sleep over at Craig's house. Craig detailed the entire car before it got here and it was glowwing when it was off-loaded from the enclosed trailer. My tailpipes looked unused.
Contact him for the detail of your car's life. He uses polymers, not waxes and the finish resists getting dirt or dust to stick. Well worth the money.

I want to know approximate cost too. I have heard that powdercoating aluminum alloy wheels weakens them during the heating process. This is just hear say, I have nothing to back it up. I am wondering if this is true though. I worked many years in an aluminum plant but can't remember what temperature we annealed aluminum at. I think GM just paints them.

My friend who did them wouldn't take a cent from me (he did have me do all the dirty work and I bought lunch ), but he said a job such as this would be about $100 per wheel.
