That would be awesome and unique...

I know a couple really good shops in the tri-state area.

In NJ there is TRGCoating (TRGCoating.com) and I have heard good things about their work.

In CT there is an awesome shop Competitive Coatings. They did my friends 300zx's wheels in a blue chrome that looked freakin nuts. Here is a pic:

Part 1:

Thanks to trdsparks for the good price and fast shipping. I'll be pulling my strut bar off this weekend as well as a couple other little things in the mail that will all be getting done the same color.

I'm still actually leaning towards the orange... believe it or not. And then the black intake will go well with it and I could get a black spark plug cover.

We shall see...

All I know is I have WAY too many things going on right now.

List is over $200 + shipping but it was like $170something shipped.

I'll be happy to sell the extra for $125ish or so when I'm done. Just don't know when that'll be yet.

Ya, that's why I'm hoping to sell the extra when I'm done. Even if I take a small loss, it's worth it IMO for the convenience of having a second one to get coated and just wait to switch mine.

Haha... I'm not sure you're local. I'm no where near the city. I'm in Painted Post. But I wouldn't mind shipping it if needed. So far I'm considering a local place that's in PA just south of me.
