  1. finally a question to which I have an answer since i run a bodyshop.. If you want something that is great then use rage gold it is a superior "bondo" that will sand nicely and have minimal pinholes if you need something cheaper most part store sell bondo which is ok but not the greatest if you want something that is better try your local auto body paint store we have alot in my area you should have a few, icing is good for final coats.so is metal glaze if you use less hardener it will stay workable for a longer period but will be runny depending on the humidity

  2. everything you have coverage on is listed in your policy . if you have photos and receipt documentation and have sent it to your agent befor the theft they are responsible to cover you loss. if it is just a basic policy and no additional coverage they will only pay to make it stock because they are in there minds insuring the factory setup. dont use statefarm either i learned this all the hard way

  3. Would be interesting to see how this would hold up over time.

    Whats your price comparison to getting something dipped?

    sorry for not replying earlier been super busy at the shop

    it is about half the cost of doing real chrome and has a liftime warranty I bought the system to do smaller stuff like emblems and interior pieces but it can do pretty much anything prices will be by the job

  4. thats what i was thinking when he said it, i was like i can look at my windshield so that makes no sense lol..

    well anyways I can give it to you lowryder...

    I'll just pm you tommarow I'll get it off my car.

    no problem i understand i get vin#s all day long cuz i run a bodyshop and do it for a living no personal info can be aquired except who owns the vehicle dmv will not relaese any personal info off of a vin tag and it gives none except the options and what vehicle was made with

  5. Alright, I have an 02 explorer xlt 2wd. The two rear struts, two springs, and two links need to be fixed. They all go together from my understanding. It is a common problem on explorers, and it is of course messed up on my car. I got quoted at a local over priced place, for 730 something to fix it all including labor. the Links might not be necessary, but the mechanic said I might need/want to replace them. 700$ is just too damn much, I mean I understood it would have been a couple hundred but I'm trying to look for the most affordable place.

    Anyone know how much this should cost? I know some people here are mechanics/ own shops.....

    Thanks for all you guys' help.

    if you can shoot me a vin # i can look up cost on all and what labor should be
