Black Forest Industries might have those valve stems.

Not much to update today.

Sold the ESM wheels ....got a good deal on some Rial Imola Race wheels up and refurbished them. 18x10 4.5" lip 18x8.5 3" lip

I still have my AC Schnitzer type 1 and epsilons sitting on the back burning waiting for $$


I'm a wheel hoarder.





I'm trying to find 3 more of these 2 inch valves if anyone knows of where I can find them.

I hear ya. Are you at least going to do a euro conversion before then? I'd **** for you to have all this custom work done and no bumper conversion.

Email TunerShop and see if they can't build you some custom lips and barrels. They're not the cheapest dudes out there, but they got me the custom built 4/5" outer lips for the Equips in 4 weeks. From Germany.

I ended up finding a guy that can have them built and ready for me in LA by the end of March so I may just go back to my original epsilon plan! And of course this is after i dump a few hundred into custom polishing and brushing on the Ac Schnitzers.

Glad to see you making progress but I have to say im bummed you wont be running the epsilions for some time. I love those wheels. But the type 1's will suffice in the mean time.

Yeah I'm looking at 4+ month's to build the custom lips to step it up to an 18" or just 2 weeks to build the type 1. I'd miss a lot of shows in that time.

I decided to go with another Euro bumper instead of the one I posted earlier. This one is cracked in 3 pieces with $hit paint and bondo BUT it has fog lights so I'm sucking it up and making it work!

I also decided to hold off on the epsilon build and picked up AC Schnitzer type 1's to build. I'm currently getting the faces brushed and the humps on each spoke polished. Will be stepping them up to 18x11 4" lip in the rear and 18x9.5 3" lip.

Pics coming soon!

This is looking great. I was not too keen on the colour to start with but now I think it looks great!

Well done.

Thanks man. I rolled the dice at the paint shop but am happy with the outcome.

Some time finally opened up so going to start working on the bumper conversion now.

I'm just about done refinishing the spoiler so that should be going on soon.

Awesome.

[XerXes310]

Oh alright dude haha. Have you made any progress on the euro conversion?
