I packed up the tips and shipping them to http://ccpcoatings.com/ CCP near Detroit... I am sending there based on recommendations from a few Rennlisters. I got the impression that this is not a difficult, skilled craft, to ceramic coat so I just pulled the trigger on one that appeared to have a good price: about $200 for both dual tips (2009 C2S). I talked to FabSpeed (near me outside of Philly) and they ship them out to a coater in upstate NY so I just cut out the middle man. They quoted me $250 for the same job.
My plan is to buy 18" flat-back wheels this summer or when my summer 19" tires expire. I would love to black out all of the silver trim interior and exterior on my car. I HATE these 19" wheels and compare them to silicon bags. I bent a rim last year.... first time in 3- 30 some years of driving... I just don't get this rubber-band over a thread spool...... I don't live in the inner city nor sell drugs. I have PASM and find the springs too spongy.... I suspect Porsche softened them because of these larger wheels/lower profile tires and use the computer/shocks to do the work. I think this is a bad compromise... I want a balanced spring/shock system for performance and not a system compromised for posing. IMHO
Peace
