Chrome stripped (front) Paid a local shop to strip the chrome

Since I was going to be laid off from work as the project was finished, I figured I would save myself the $800, quoted by the same shop that stripped the rims, to polish them, I did the polishing myself. Pretty pleased with how they turned out, especially after the local shop said I would never be able to do it :fu:

Polished Rear

I will admit, when the rims showed up, I thought I had "bitten \off more than I could chew" but 3 years after the original purchase, I am very happy with what I was able to accomplish

Rims came from Bronx Intruder: 21" RC Components Stingray & 18" rear is an RC Components Smoothie

I can list everything done to The_Mistress if anyone is interested

If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.
