Yeah it's all good, my crappy lug nuts were rusting so I put some new ones on and couldn't put shiny new lugs on dirty wheels.

What is an outrageous price to you? You can get them done professionally for $400.00.

Got quoted at some random shop for 180 per to prep(sandblast) and spray a metallic black...I thought that was quite high

Wheels America on one of the largest places in the country and they are local. They will do it in a day for $400-$450 and if you leave your car they will even unmount and remount the tires and put them on the car. My buddy owns a tire shop and he has a guy who does it for $400 but I can't vouch for his work. Wheels America has fixed two different very expensive Mercedes AMG wheels for my boss and did a great job.

Speaking of that, get that bitch here so we can work on it. You could also bribe my dad and we could take the truck and trailer on a long weekend and pick it up. He is always down for a road trip.

Its fun having a system in these cars...install isn't too bad...wiring can be a bitch but id suggest going with two 12s or 10s...those 15's were too damn loud in that car...they popped my trunk open on several occasions and almost blew out my back window at the last show. The way our trunks are built with the middle being able to open up, if utilized right the amount of airflow is more then enough for a quality sound....fyi I build custom boxes(refer to cornholios pics) soo if ya want something just pm me

Good thing you didn't blow out that back window because it runs about $900.00. I had mine broken out at a club years back and was not happy when I called around for prices.
