My plan was to do the inside body color with black in the reflector, they have been preped to paint inside with adhesion promoter, cept the little chrome ring. So they aren't shinny inside any more.
Sorry we should move over to one of them headlight threads

Well a small part came in from Treadstone.
Installed in intake tube-
We'll see if this helps with some trims and MAF readings come tuning time.
HoneyComb MAF Mass Air Meter Airflow Straightener. These small additions to any cold air intake, turbo inlet pipe or anywhere a MAF sensor is located, will greatly improve the MAF readings "fuel trims" that the ECU sees. No more erratic MAF readings, fix lean or rich spikes, increase throttle response, fix idle, all of these can be improved with this $20 upgrade!
-Available in 3", 3.5" and 4" diameters.
-Slides right into pipe before MAF sensor
-Can be glued, braised, or epoxy'd in

It pressed it nicely, and they said that's fine, but I had some JBWeld laying around on the work table so I used a little on a couple spots for insurance. Don't see it ever moving now!

Powdercoat called today for pickup!
Direct light on the wheel made the intensity more-so than it truly is, but here's a teaser-
In all honesty I'm having a hard time developing an legit opinion myself until tire's are mounted and I'm on the ground with the new stance. All things said though, I feel I did the right thing and it's all going to come together.

I luckily found a local place that did these on the side, will not complain one bit. Meanwhile they had 20 tractor trailers parked out back as they handle the coatings for a lot of different corporations & products.
