Default What Now?...Back to the Drawing Board?

well...i have removed both sets of wheels from my Lexi in hopes of getting them both redone. Any suggestions? I may just stay the same and rechrome the Works and Powdercoat chrome the Advans again. Both sets are in need of some repair

The Auto Couture front lip has had it, but fought valiantly against bump stops and low driveways. Time to move on (budget permitting) to a new kit. At least I was able to snap a few nice pics while the kit was in one piece.

With the aggressive onslaught of the "Three White Chariots" I better act fast...

Heh... I'd have to think you are going WALD.... then again, a AC full bumper may be nice.. and there are just a couple here on CL.

Now on the wheels? who in the heck has been driving? Parking by braille?
answer to both Gene...WIFEY!!!

the Works are in better shape but need refreshing...i.e. chipped chrome

Wald? hmmm and you're right the AC lip is fragile

hahaha, Jeff, very funny..... What happen to your kit??? Hey, I know you got those Rezax with a good price. Any time you want to get rid off make sure you call me first!!!!

BTW, I have been really sick lately so you don't see me post much (ask Henry, he knows). PM me if your friend with the IS is still on, I will gather something for you tomorrow.

Time to go with the AC full replacement Jeff!!!

Mark...sorry to hear of your illness...if you could continue with the suggestions on the IS and i'll forward to my friend.

should I just triple chrome the Rezax or go with a different finish

i'll probably re-powdercoat chrome the Advans and use those on the SC430 to see how i like it at 19"

yeah mark has been really sick, actually i haven't been able to talk to him much this past week.

jeff, that's a lot of beatings on the front lip man. so gene and mark, the lip is that fragile?! i mean, even thinner than the wald? i thought the wald is pretty darn thin already man. that sux jeff i think it's really time for you to just get the ac full kits. come on, you can do it jeff! don't get wald, it's sooo played out

and about the wheels man, also a lot of beatings there! drive careful now! i think you should just get some very nice hre 540r at a super nice insider price

LOL my wald front lip is spotless, I dont have so much as a splattered fly on mine!

I thinks its the way your wife drives.. think about trading her in, or a least get her a Hummer
