i'm probably going to use a local tuner john kerr. j-k tuning. i have heard nothing bad about what he does. every car i've seen leave there ran awesome. if he's booked, i wouldn't mind trying jeff evans, but thats pretty far up north.

i have a few friends of mine that get or have gotten cars tuned up there, and he seems to be pretty damn good at it. i've been up there a few times, and the place seems pretty legit. not money hungry like other places i've seen or been too before.

today i took the wing off, and painted the steelies. the wheels look kinda weird. i used high temp grill paint. supposed to be flat black, but they look kinda brown. cost of paint was $4.99 and the wing removal, obviously free.

Evans from what I hear only tunes Hondata and AEM for hondas. No more Neptune. I know cause he is sending people to go to my friend and a great tuner Art (YCUnderground.com)

Not trying to call you out, but how well did you clean the steelies before you painted them?

i used some acetone and wiped them down. then i took a 3m pad, and scrubbed most of the brake dust off and scratched up the surface. then, i wiped them down again and then painted. i just got sick of the rusty/bluish steel look. i figured, black is better than rust lol. i have a set of wheels, i just need to pick them up from andy's house. and, i gotta get a tire for one of them. sometime i guess i'll get around to it.
