have you done the prep work before??? it can be a PITA and is very time consuming. i see a lot of guy that try to do this stuff themselves and end up fuggin it up bad. just make sure you get a good primer and make sure you sand it down after the primer and then sand down the color after you paint before you clear. then sand after clear as well to get rid of orange peel left by the clear. i learned alot from my neighbor and man that shyt isnt easy at all

Tuner lugs often have their own keys, but do not consider them wheel locks.
