well im most likely getting the spohn SFCs this summer and i was woundering if it worth the extra 45 beans. if i order it bare i will just paint it w/ some rustolum or somthing.

I'm gonna order them powder coated...

probably a much better job than I could do, then the POR-15 I do buy to cover the welds and the underside of the car I won't be able to reach after they are in will be enough..

For 45 bones it's worth getting someone else to do it.

it would be easier/cheaper to use the bare metal ones so they weld right up, and then you could coat them..

i heard from previous thread that you have to shave off the power coat in the areas were welding is needed. not sure if i heard right.

I bought and installed the powder coated Spohn SFC's myself and if I had it to do again I would opt for the bare ones. You have to wire off the powdercoat quite a bit back away from your weld points otherwise it melts and crinkles up- doesn't look pretty. I use appliance epoxy paint to cover weld areas when finished anyway.

non coated it is i guess

ya i order them non-coated
b/c they were eaiser to install
no grinding or stripping

next month sometime i'm going to have my entire
under body cleaned and coated so it will look all
nice and pretty for years to come :lala: :lala: :lala:
