I had to use this yellow tape that wont melt and apply it the the lip before the powdercoat. It was a pain because the glue stuck to the lip and i had to use acetone to remove the glue. The wheels originally were all aluminum until i had the centers powder coated.

I took my original steel silver wheels and wire brushed them down to the metasl and had them powder coated black also. This way when its parked it still looks nice. What new mods have you done on your car?

the coils i used are those of a stock xj, it sits almost an inch taller than the coils that came with the calmini lift, for install they are a bigger coil than stock, so i swapped sides, so they sit on the mounts firmly, its a heavier spring rate, so it can be loaded more without the drag of the stock spring rate, they still flex out great.

I dont think I´ve posted in this thread.

Heres my GV 2001 V6 manual. Its got a 2 inch body lift, custom fender flares, 35x12.5x15 tires, 15x10 alloy wheels, 4.88 diffs, cb radio and antenna and a sound setup. I panted the wheels, middle of the grill and inside the headlights this summer.
