I agree about the "showing off" factor of Instagram and I totally accept the medium being useful for that. Personally I get a lot of inspiration from Instagram on artistic-level, but that's a whole different story.

The problem I have is rather more that FB groups and pages replaced the forums in some sort of way. I tried it some time ago with various pages/groups, but I found it very annoying people just keep on posting photos of their builds over and over again without seeing the whole context. Many just keep commenting on things that had been covered in a previous post, so that could have been avoided. (exit rant here...)

More on topic: about the powder coated parts: that looks great!
Did it cost an arm and a leg? Ten years ago I powder coated my rims and I was shocked by the high price they asked for it.
