Fellas,

I'm looking to powdercoat the OEM GT3 wheels gunmetal or black, as well as installing a Clear Bra for the hood and fenders - any recs for either or both in the Chicagoland area? Thanks in advance-

Can't help you in the Chicago area. I know a great powder coater locally (in VA Beach) and a FANTASTIC clear bra installer in Raleigh, NC. But . . . I realize that doesn't help.

Good luck!

I had my winter wheels powder coated by wheels america. They did a perfect job, but they charge perfect money (I believe it was $125 per wheel, including mounting / balancing).

Best place to go for tint and/or clear bra (I've tried a few places with my past couple cars) is Umbra. I had them do a custom full front wrap clear bra and 35% Pinnacle F1 tint. They're awesome if you can make the trip out there. If you call ask for Nino - he's the proprietor and is really a great guy.

I had my whole front end clear bra'd by Chicago Roadblock. They did a great job, no issues at all. It took about half a day to do the installation.
