Finally my painted CNC ported throttle body came back. Took like 4 weeks but it looks really good, can't wait to install it tomorrow and see how much of a difference it makes. Also got some other goodies today. Got some IOM spray paint and IOM vinyl CAMARO windshield decal. The next couple of days are gonna be fun! I also plan on finally installing my LEDs for my cupholder. So stayed tuned for a couple of nice mods comming.

Nice mods, how did you get your painted stuff, like your fuse box, 4gauge pack, and engine cover to look so shiny and smooth?

Mine is dull and textured :(

Also, how did you manage to keep the raised images on the fuse box?

I cleared everything with a couple coats of clear. As far as the raised part I painted it with flat black enamel paint I didn't sand it just left it the way it was before I painted it. I would suggest painting your fuze box cover and then using a black sharpie to go over the raised part it will be much much easier.

Well I attempted to install my IOM painted tb. The actuall install went fine but when I started my car that was where all the problems happened. I quadrouple checked everything to make sure everything i disconnected was reconnected. When i started my car it had a little hard time starting and when it did it sputtered at first and the violently shook. I did so many different things to try and fix it but nothing seemed to have worked. A full in detail of what went wrong and stuff can be found here.

I must say Rx did an awesome job painting it it looked awesome! I waited a long time to finally get it lol it just sucks things went the way they did. Thanks to Rx amazing customer service they said I would be able to exchange it for another painted one. So i quickly mailed it out and I am really eager to get another and put it on. Here are some pics of it and how it looked installed on my car. I do plan on switching out the stock bolts for black ones at some point.

Thanks I wish I didn't have so much trouble with the thottle body install so I could actually have it as opposed to having to send it out again and getting a new one.

Woot!!!! Just order 4 20x10 Matt Gunmetal Nurburgring with some 275/40-20 General G-Max AS-03. Hopefully I get them fast so I don't have to wait haha but I am so excited.

[kjkjr27]

Well got an e-mail today fromt he place I ordered my new wheels and tires and apparently they couldn't finalize my order because they didn't have the Nurburgrings in stock. I have to wait until Monday for when they call TSW to see what is going to happen. I really hope I can get them because it was a really nice deal. Anyways got bored and went to the TSW website and put the wheels on my car and here is a pic of how it will look.
