I actually had my mirrors painted, but hadn't attached them yet. I want to get my wheels powder coated, the guy who did my Jeep doesn't do it. I just need a quick non permanent solution until I have saved enough to get the wheels done right. Here are some photos in a little bit better light.

I agree! Although, I wanna get it finished first. Also, Adam is getting his finished very soon! I think we should all get together and do something soon.

So over the weekend I had my brakes redone. New rear wheel cylinders, brake lines, rotors, the works. I pick it up yesterday, and drove it less that 10 miles, and the front driver's side wheel popped off. Apparently, the tech didn't screw the lugs in with a wrench. He just put them in by hand and forgot to torx them. The the lug holes in the wheel itself got wallowed out. I'm currently in the process of filing a claim with them. Last night was not a good night, but at least I wasn't hurt. Pics below:
