Rywires prices are better than I thought!

Dang. Almost makes buying it already built (or having it built) worth the price vs. the hassle and potential problems of doing it yourself.

Call it whatever you want. Everybody has there own value on time. Having done my harness 3 different times now, yes it's cool...but looking back, I would have gone with Ryan's product.

Plus the cost of doing it Ryans way isnt cheap and for someone who makes a few harnesses not worth while.

Well I talked to ryan who is a good guy and does do really great work. I wanted a custom harness (delete things lengthen things etc etc) and he told me with lables it was going to be around 650-750 dollars. I contacted Xavier at Wireworx and he quoted me $450 with lables for the same harness... So...

I did my own harness so I can speak from experience. I'm dealing with a Chasebays harness right now so I can speak from experience. I've dealt with Rywire's products in the past so I can speak from experience.


Go with Rywire.

Hey guys I got my rpf1's powder coated satin black. Well I got them back and I am not happy with how they came out. They wheels are perfect besides where the lug holes are. There are some visible high spots there. Well the guy who did them said the reason is because powder doesnt like sharp edges and it pulls back creating those high spots. He said I would have to dremel the lug holes and roll the edges to avoid those high spots. He also said there is no way to actually fix it without stripping and doing the wheel over. And I still have the possibility of having the same thing happen unless I roll the edges.

I asked if he can lightly sand it down and just spray the face of the lug holes but he said it possible it wont look good and also make the lug holes look dry. He said he can lightly sand it down and buff it but then it would turn shiny instead of satin. I rather not have him do another coat on top because it would add more weight to the wheels.

What I want to know is if this guy is telling me the truth about powder pulling back from sharp edges. Also if these wheels can get powder coated without getting high spots?

Looks like **** right now but tomorrow once I finish shaving the firewall and get it primed.. It will start looking good again..




And before someone post asking why there isnt any headlight or fender holes is because the previous owner drilled 2 extra holes per headlight and nothing would match up... so I had to redo them.

Rywire is your one and ONLY stop for harnesses. He uses all brand new wires, plugs, pins, wire, ect.. Best in the game IMO.
