Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

      yeah i've received only good comments about the wheels.. the only problem i had with mine is the texture after.. mine are pretty gritty feeling.. the spray left some powder and i didn't know so i put a couple layers over the powder/dust.. after finding out, i started to use a can of compressed air between coats..

              The white rims on the car look sweet man, lovin the look. I did a quick photochop of a pic I took of my car. This is what I want it to look like after paint with painted rims and a nice drop. Comments would be great

              And are there any nice lips out there for the rear bumper?

                    So did it turn out prety good? I want to paint mine to there a silver ish color i want to paint it all black. Im going for a darker looking car without painting the actual car but just the rims and others. I dont have photoshop to see how my car would look with inside painted black.

                      When I did mine I found this site. It was pretty helpful. I painted mine bronze instead of gold. Tell me what you think.

                      Here are two pics:

                      I left the center cap on this one so you can see the difference.






                      I did these a few months back, and a slight fender bender. So I will be doing them again. (You can see some curve scractches in the PICs)
