    Copper is big money powdercoat. So I'm gonna head to Lowe's and see what my options are. And then use stupidly expensive clear coat with activator in it and hope for the best

    I can't wait to see it dude. I love my bronze F5s but they don't pop enough. Copper or gold is badass

    I started to feel that way about my bronze Stealth 6's, so i got some copper ray 10's. They definitely stand out.

    When I went with Bronze and 33's 3 years ago, bronze was a rare site. And it's slowly caught on more and more. I have never seen copper though

    Motor for the 06 runner is here. Now I have to decide to work my balls off and take Wednesday to go to Roger Waters show at staples or just take my time and take the whole week to work on it. I have 7 days to return the core.

    Thinking of going that route. Saw the wall at the coliseum a few years ago with :1up: and it was awesome. It's just too hot right now to try and do a quick turn around. Plus the ticket is $275!!! Thinking I'll pass.

    I just use a cable lock through both tires and have it fully insured. only so much you can do to prevent theft. with the insurance I feel comfortable and if something happens Ill get something nicer the next time. insurance money is always good upgrade money...
