Haha, funny you post this. I was literally just reading into powder coating stuff too. I've personally never had any work done, but the 2 of the more popular ones here are in Kapolei. There's Mekala and Hi-Tech.
On that note, has anybody or does anybody know if they can strip and re-powder coat wheel lips "chrome" or something resembling a polished lip? If not, they have HyperBlack right?

Thats actually what i ment but totally forgot what its called. i was thinking of wrapping the intake plumbing, and box with reflective tape. Along with under hood, also looking at doing Phenolic Intake Spacers, coat all of the exhaust, and intake manifold. and also wrap the turbo. Trying to cool temps under the hood but we will see.

Just a little tip, the more parts you take in, the better of a deal they are willing to give you. Granted all the parts are a being coated the same color. However, I think wheels are a flat rate depending on their size.

What makes your reflective tape mock up ghetto? The reason im thinking reflective tape, is because i have no intercooler. So the cooler of air i can throw in the better. I also don't plan on upgrading turbos any time soon, and going back stockish.... I have wraped UEL's on at the moment and it runs like crap, looks like crap, and just soaks up all leaks lol.
