Yea I shaved part of the top hat to let the oe bolts sit flush. Looking for mk1 rear to so I can go 326 up front maxed and smoother rear ride

Thanks Rabbit, I actually rattle canned it satin black. It look good when I first sprayed. Now I'm saving for an actual paint job. Going satin black again

I've done two flat black cars. I highly recommend SEM products, hot rod black.

Here is one I painted:

That is a fantastic job. I think that would be a early 60s beetle modded with a touch of the older style.

I finally drove to work, the ride was not as bad as I thought it would be. Before I swapped to the coilovers I was on chopped springs with stock suspension. The aveo was slammed especially when I was on 15's and the ride was really rough. I can't wait to get the 326 springs all round and get that smoother ride.

Great job! I love that color. How long have you been painting?

aww man do I ever love flat black and polished/burnished chrome!.. boy that beetle pic ^ makes me seriously consider this.. still loving the coil-overs on the front btw they have survived 'a lot' of punishment, and even though they are lowish (not as low as most of the pics i see), they actually do better on logging roads than the stock raised suspension imho, simply because they are soo stiff they handle small potholes/bumps way better than I thought. I just did about 90 miles on a pretty technical logging road that didn't have any highside spots with my setup.

Melveo, how are the 326 springs holding up? I'm finally getting ready to order mine all around. these springs are a little pricey, based on stance nation's site for 2 sets I figured I had enough $$ to buy them. Then I saw the shipping fee. I first thought the springs were coming from Cali, instead japan.
