Thanks people! I just have fun trying new stuff. For me car stuff is kinda like art because the car is the canvas and you do stuff to it. SOme people like it some people don't. HERE'S some bottlecaps I split tonight. TIG welded up the back face and the lips will make these into 17"s when done. THese will look sick with 4" lips on my buddies E30.
Bolt circle for 34 hole BBS lips:




with my RPF1 "barrels" which were cut off to give the deep look!

small updates: I started wrapping the MDF panels with the grey vinyl I picked out. I figured out how to stretch and pull using the heat gun to help the vinyl move more. Spray adhesive was also used to help things lay flat. I have both side panels done and top screws mounted through into plastic. I decided to rewrap the speaker grill/bulb access without the 1/4" padding and not the perforated material. It looks more OEM style. I have to trim the main door panel a bit because the vinyl is thick and things are getting too tight.

Tonight I wrapped the lower spare tire well MDF battery support piece with black speaker carpet and fabricated a battery cage that will hold it to the MDF board. I levelled the board and I just need the large plastic nut that usually holds the spare tire to hold down the batt-base. I am having trouble wrapping the trim pieces and according to some instagram interior guys I'm using shitty vinyl that won't stretch right for the job. So I may either get a local shop to wrap those 2 pieces or I might order some vinyl from a real supplier. One place in the US is called TMI products. However Im from Canada so I don't if we have something like that. Fabric store vinyl isn't the same quality. I made small brackets and secured the outer door trim to the lower base. I still need NUTSERTS to hold the base to the car itself. After this I need to cover the main door still with diamond pleat grey, and cover the bare trunk with the black speaker carpet to give everything a tidy look. Pics:

Thanks man!
I've never seen those done yet. I did a quick google search and nothing came up. Doesn't mean they can't be done. I'd have to see them to know!

mini update: Got my LED strips from amazon and bought some aluminum channel which I cut into angle essentially. Picked up some 6mm acrylic and stopped my buddies vinyl wrap shop "Nikko signs" to get a little vinyl to lay over top as a barrier against the sandblasting. Edge lit LED sign is what this is called. I tried sandblasting as it was easier then CNC and the light should hit the areas differently. The test was a success and I will be ordering more acrylic tomorrow and getting the logo designed for the vinyl template. Some pics of said edge-lit action:




Clearance needed for diamond pleat is confirmed and trap door has been trimmed accordingly. Here is test fit:

Thanks dude. I charge 300$ per wheel to split, TIG and drill. I won't do another set of RPF1's this year unless it's a whole wheel build including powdercoat.
