Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Painting my 17 spoke 15" OEM rims

    i've recently taken it upon myself to be the 1st to polish the lip on the 17" oem spoke wheel but i need info regarding how to obtain this look in quick but thorough manner. TYPE G plzz reply i just signed up but seen all ur polishing posting im orginally from TAC toronto accord club but most of them farts work to much an have little advice. man i wish i live in the states anyways im painting the body of the rims red or metalic red not sure yet but im sure i want the lip polished. So far i clean up all the roadrash due to Toronto sucky weather w/ a wire wheel brush then started sanding with 180g, will i have to work my way up the scale to obtain the finish i want?

    also anyone have advice as to how to clean out those deep pockets in the rim?

                            Did you use that bronze dupli wheel paint? That's what I used....I should've used the gold engine enamel, but the bronze grew on me
