Hey, that would be sweet...I think...However, wouldn't you need to give them your entire car for what I hear is a lengthy process (powdercoating in general)?On top of this, the powdercoat may not hold up very well to the elements. It may start to "orange peel" after a few months, unless you can get the shop to warranty/guarantee their work.PS..the rims look sweet

Wow, they look great in the daylight!I think I miss them already Oh yeah, powdercoating the roof crossmembers will look great. Powdercoating is the way to go for the most durable finish.Keith
