Getting ready to do the fronts. Thanks John, Marcus and everyone for the great tips. (the sub was great fuel ;-)

The completed job. The Citrus degreaser worked great and the aluminum foil is a great tip for masking much of the area.

Installed with the rims. Thanks Sang for the silver rings! I finally got them on the car. :-)

Default It took about 3 1/2 to 4 hours for me to do the fronts by myself. FYI (YEA HUM!)

This included time to wash the front rims inside and out. The rears should go faster. I may not do them though, the car may look more agressive with just the fronts done.

Thanks Nancy, putting the rings on "exactly" straight is near impossible! :-)

Default it's hard, the curves make you think it should go one way....

then the other curve butts in! LOL

i'm hesitating about doing the rear ones now too... they're so small, and I do love the way the fronts look done alone.

thanks again to TT Doug for all the hard (and HOT) work he put into helping me get this looking so sharp.
