yep

Becky measured them all for me. I posted them awhile back to save them for future reference.

The painter also wants to meet with me on Friday to explain how to care for matte paint. So I will be talking shop with him about everything then as well.

I thinking about pulling the trigger on them soon. 2SSRS and SJM have the concept afterburners, I'm just not sure which one to go with. This whole time I thought they were the same product but they arent.

Yea 2SSRS has been making his for awhile. I didn't think SJM had finished his yet though, but I'm not up to date on them since I have 2SSRS'.

Definitely will. I'll also be asking Dylan at Adam's some questions as well. To get a second opinion and what not.

RJ,
Definitely need pics when the painting is complete... I almost said "when the car is done" but I know that'll never happen!

Yeah SJM's isn't ready yet. I'll most likely go with 2SSRS, he's cookin' up some and should be ready by next week.

Perfect!!! There is quite a variance in widths from like 8.5" up to 15" on top. This is going to look great...

I know, I'm SUPER excited. Looked at some paint samples today as well - We are still figuring out how much pearl to put into the paint. Then we're trying to figure out if I want to pick an OEM black pearl paint (aka 2 stage paint) or do the hot rod black with a pearl clear coat. I'm leaning more towards the latter personally.



Also, one of the photos has a hint to a secret mod I'm doing
