I had the same problem a few months ago and the dealership sent them out to a wheel refinisher. I tried to get them replaced but they wouldn't go for it. The wheels look great now. Be sure you get all 4 wheels redone because the finish will be a little duller than it was from the factory. My...
Re: \'03 calipers
I just painted mine last week. I painted them with red G2 paint I bought on ebay for $32.00. I did a lot of research and everyone that used G2 said it worked and held up. The kit comes with cleaner, paint and a brush. The paint "spreads out" after you brush it on. I had a...
Yesterday was probably the last nice day in Indiana before snow so I cleaned up the car and took some photos. I wanted to post them here unfortunately I'm stupid with the computer and I can't figure out how to get the photos from my gallery into a message. I've tried for an hour and I'm more...
Looks great! What does it cost "out the door" for the shocks, springs, alignment, etc. to install the KWs? Motons are great but I'd love a less expensive option to lower my 03. Thanks
I have a silver 03 and I just ordered Iforged black centers with a polished lip. I think chrome wheels look great on dark cars but they get lost on light cars. Do a search for Bigcarrot and look in his gallery - I purchased the same style. His wheels say H......y but they are made by Iforged...
Phoenix: I have clearbra along the entire sill and into the door openings and I have not had any yellowing or peeling problems. I have a Corsa exhaust which does not get as hot as the stock exhaust. I have put 5,000 miles on so far. I think doing the entire sill is probably overkill. Once I...
Today I cut out the spot in the clearbra holding the liquid and there are 2 small blisters/cracks in the sill. When I took the sill off of the car there is corrosion between the sill and the foil heat shield that wraps around the exhaust. It appears that something has caused the inside of the...
Congrats. Dean's work is first rate and he is a super guy as well. I toured his facility this summer and he does wonderful work on cars and off shore racing boats. The paint on his orange car is like glass. I'd have him paint my car if I wasn't so cheap. Are you getting ghost stripes? They...

I am feeling much, much better. Now I know I have "brothers" to talk with when my wife decides to take the Mercedes and leave. Anyone in Indiana have a spare bedroom (and garage)?
Thanks for the replies. I'm feeling better. Maybe I don't need a 12 step program after all. I can't wait until my wife gets up so I can tell her about PaViper and his laundry. She thinks I'm the only night polisher out there! I hope you all have a great New Year.
Every couple of weeks my wife tells me I am too consumed with Vipers. I really enjoy viewing this web site, reading car mags, detailing the car, planning modifications, driving the car, etc. When the car gets a scratch/has a problem she knows I will have to attend to it immediately. I think...
I talked to Robert at Aldan yesterday and he said they are 2 to 3 weeks away from introducing a new adjustable shock that will lower the SRT10 1 to 1.5 inches. Cost will be $500-$550 a pair and this includes the springs. He said he already has 3 orders. I know members have had problems with...
I have covered my sills in clearbra and there is a 2" circular spot on the bottom of driver side where the clearbra is holding a milky liquid that appears to have seeped through a small crack/blister in the bottom of the sill. You can't see it now (unless you lay on the ground) but it appears...
I jacked the car up and as Viper X noted it was easy to find a place for the jack stands on the front of the car because the frame is exposed. Unfortunately I find no place for the stands on the back of the car. I am sending all of my wheels out for a week so I don't want to leave the back of...
I looked under the car and I don't see a good spot for the jack stands on the back of the car. Do I need to remove the belly pan to place jack stands on the back? Thanks for your help.
I am trying to figure out how to jack up the car and put it on jack stands so I can remove all 4 of the wheels. I see the 4 "V" points for the stands but I can't figure out where to place the jack to lift the car. If I use a "V" for the jack, I have no place to put a stand. Am I missing...
