Hey new here...

Nate is the detail master - Speed6 Guy - so we've had meets where he shows people the ropes on how to use a buffer and stuff like that. I missed the one at the beginning of the Summer, but maybe well get one planned before Winter again to wax 'em up before the salt attacks...lol

Yeah I'd reccomend checking out the next detail day. You'll learn a lot (I sure did). Instead of the wheel eraser next time you have something on your paint check out a claybar, you use some detail spray (or a soap+water mix) to wet the paint down, then go over it with the bar, it'll pickup all the junk out of your paint without damaging it, then you wash and wax.

A great guy is Nic from Crazy Talk Customs. His shop is in East Bethel, MN which is about 20 min. from you.

Check out www.crazytalkcustoms.com and you can see many of his powdercoating projects which are mostly done on truck frames. His work is amazing and his work is praised among the custom truck community, I highly recommend him.
 
okay so Nic does not do wheel powdercoat apparently but he said he'd be able to blast em first for me. He recommended another place for the actual coating, about $50 a wheel. Not bad.

$80 per wheel or for all four? I'm assuming all four or that's Crazy alright.
 
So I have one black, and one white side mirror.
The driver side got knocked off by yours truly last fall and I got it replaced for cheap off of eBay.

It came just all black, so I was wondering if I should have em both black, or both white.

That's also an easy way you can tell if you have seen me!
(if you can get ahead of me...lol)

I'M OFFENDED!
Both black. With the black trim around the windows, It'd look badass. Or get carbon fiber mirror covers.
 
Hmm, yea that does sound cool. So then I should take both off, carefully, and gloss paint or flat? I'm thinking flat...

If you're painting it yourself, flat will be easier to do and have it look nice, but the gloss is going to be easier to maintain. Bug splatter on flat is rough...lol
 
Hey another question for whoever can answer...
I'm thinking, if it's at all possible, that simply shortening the shift rod thinger instead of buying a new kit might be easier. I will most likely have to re-thread the thing...what would be easier? I mean it's not like I can do any of this on my own either so that kinda makes it hard. Me = no tools etc.

Ehhh... that's kinda up there with cutting your springs on the list of "mods that only honda owners do"

From a total amount of work standpoint, they would be about the same. Cutting the shift rod would be cheaper, but far more ghetto. Most short-shift kits are actually engineered to change the shifter pivot point, rather than just shorten the lever. In doing so, they can actually shorten the throw more than if you were to simply shorten the lever.
