It finally happened.

Took a turn a little too close because it was such a narrow street.. and *thump* It was like someone killed my brother right in front of me. Instant sickness to the stomach.

This sucks. My day is ruined

***dmx*** · 07-22-2007, 04:17 PM

sorry to hear that man.. i know how you feel ;/

***holy EFFING cow*** · 07-22-2007, 04:35 PM

Sucks. I curbed my Works a few weeks ago. You'll get over it.

Check out rim repair kits. Apparently it can be fixed.

Good choice on the tires, by the by.

***Cybergypsy*** · 07-22-2007, 04:47 PM

GregNco · 07-22-2007, 05:54 PM

sorry about your luck, but i dont get how people arent extra careful with there aftermarket wheels. im extra careful with my stock wheels.

***holy EFFING cow*** · 07-22-2007, 05:57 PM

Please don't paint your calipers.

Why not? It looks good, as long as you know what your doing, and it doesnt cost much.

trogers8 · 07-22-2007, 06:08 PM

OUCH...I know how you feel bro. I had my wheel curbed in New Orleans..and it wasn't even me that curbed it! I parked in an illegal spot overnight lol and my car got towed...well in the process of towing my car they scraped my passenger front wheel along the damn curb. And of course the towing company is not liable for any damages to the car...so I was just shit outa luck. Oh wellz...I've moved on...

jeremy0203 · 07-22-2007, 06:08 PM

It screams "I want Brembo or Stoptech brakes but can't afford the upgrade so I painted them."

Leave colored calipers to the guys who track their cars or bought them that way.

To "Slow si," I'm sorry, but I don't like it. Looks like you did a good job painting them, but it isn't my cup of tea.

But that's enough of the threadjacking.

Just because you dont like it doesnt mean others dont, i personally like it and think it looks good as long as its done right.

So you should of said in your first post "I dont think you should paint your calipers because i dont like." instead of "Please don't paint your calipers."

Would of made things alot easier

Good thing I didn't pay 2k for "real" rims or I'd be more pissed off right now!

bsramzy · 07-22-2007, 07:20 PM

i did something similar to avoid an accident on my 57Fs that are custom painted to TA scheme. took it to a body shop/rim repair place and the guy took 75 to fix them.

mine was a lot worse than urs though.

07SiGuy · 07-22-2007, 08:34 PM

Doh, been there, done that. I curbed one of mine avoiding some crazy grandma in a buick. I cry every time I look at it. But oh well, just gives me a reason to get some new rims at some point.

Good luck with it.
