Does anyone have a picture of FNs fully polished? I ordered a new set, and have been thinking about doing it.. Any pics would help..

thanks

id hound you for not searching......but i dont think there are alot of fully polished sets out there......

just use aircraft stripper then polish away!

allstar · 11-16-2006, 05:37 AM

Wonder what type of rear braking system is being used. Those rotors are huge!

S13 Charlie · 11-16-2006, 09:22 AM

It's hard to see, but they look like Z32 rear brakes. The rear rotors are a little over 11", so pretty good size, especially since most of us are used to seeing stock brakes, heh.

Ontopic: Wow, FN's look really good polished out. It helps that the picture shows one of the better fitments for the S14, though.

thejapino · 11-16-2006, 03:16 PM

hey team rootbear, im curious. Whats up with the front bumper on the pic?

SoSideways · 11-16-2006, 03:29 PM

^ He doesn't have his bumper on in the pic.

the z32 rear rotors are actually a tad bigger than the fronts, which in relation is massive for rears...

ive always wanted to buy some FN01Rs and SBC/chome them...but for the price of the wheels and custom finish, im already in volk/work/ssr/advan territory...unfortunately, it will never happen so ill live vicariously through your cast counterpart...post some pics when you get them! and for the love of god, dont run the centercaps!

i need a set of roller wheels to sit on if i do it

HalveBlue · 11-16-2006, 08:24 PM

Usually not a big fan of highly polished items.

But those wheels don't look half bad.

gotta240 · 11-16-2006, 08:40 PM

so can those be done yourself? If not, how much do shops usually charge?!

looks great.

You can do it yourself but I will be taking my wheels to a shop in el monte to do mine.. They should be back in about 10 days and $250.. I will post pics when I get them on!

KA-T_240 · 11-17-2006, 03:00 PM

sw20>>s14 · 11-17-2006, 03:03 PM

KA-T_240 · 11-20-2006, 12:36 AM

aussie call up zander or albert and see what he can do. If anything. take some aircraft stripper to them. then apply polishing compound for a few hours.

koukimonster139 · 11-20-2006, 07:29 PM

damn spense fuckin rep that shit
i forgot how hot your car actually is since I last saw it in person.
+1 for real ganadors!!

lucky7 · 11-20-2006, 07:38 PM

that look excellent. color is very cool. wheels fit the car to a T.

allstar · 12-09-2006, 11:01 PM

so they came in.. turned out real good.. wheel was a little dirty when I took the picture..

Team Rootbeer · 12-10-2006, 10:18 AM

looks good, you can really tell a difference just in the pics as to whether it was professionally done (yours) or home job (mine)

must go lower to show them off correctly though

+1 on the lowering.

However, I like your's better. I think it's because it's like a matte polished look instead of full out shiny shiny polished look, and I like that finish on the FNs better.

gotta240 · 12-10-2006, 10:28 AM

if you don't mind, how much was it?

to everyone else... does anyone know if aircraft stripper affects alluminum in a negative way at all? i know that stuff is HARSH.

slideshow240 · 12-10-2006, 10:32 AM

yes,....how much?

mayco_86 · 12-10-2006, 11:27 AM

The price was $250 it says it up on top. Hey i think he should lower the car to. That shit looks like its ready to OFFROAD. But then what can you expect off a tall skinny white boy. HAHAHAHA!!!!

HyperTek · 12-10-2006, 12:21 PM
