will do

I think I'm gonna do my window trim(I used that black chrome crap and it looks like *** up close) and door pillars(because someone tried to pry one of them for some reason and its rusting now, you can sort of see it on the front passenger door). I would do the mirrors and door handles too if I was confident it would really peel right off..lol

 

i use 303 on my dash and it looks good..sort of a matte finish. use it on the leather as well

 

u guys think i should put it on the wheels?
lol

 

When doing a trans drain/fill, is it necessary to drain the hose as well? It says so in the FSM and was in bythabays video, just curious what all of you normally do?

 

Just added some German accent to my car. Look what i got today.

Can not wait to go to the muffler shop and I know it will sound great, deep and sexy tone

 

ill probably switch to 245/45 front if I keep these wheels any longer

funny that you call my extreme contact DW max performance summer tires(whatever that means) mudder tires, what tires are you running exactly?

all of your suggestions make my car slower and worse handling

 

plasti-dip on a wheel ?

i would have thought the wheel would get hot ..
therefore melt the plasti-dip off .

no???

 

everyone kept saying that in all of my searching

but wheels don't really get all that hot, some guy has had it on his GTI for 2 years or something

idk we'll see, I doubt it will last forever, when it starts to look ****ty ill peel it off

 

Plasti Dip peels off because clearcoat is not strong enough to protect it against rocks etc.

 

oh ok .. kewl ..

 

we'll see, thats why I didn't try it on awesome wheels..lol

the way I see it, if you spray paint wheels, they won't hold up and you can't undo it, powdercoating is so expensive that unless you have some really great wheels you are better off selling your wheels and buying wheels the color you want at least with plasti dip you can peel it off...maybe

 

I've sprayed a couple sets of wheels, first set held up just fine, and the current set is doing quite well.

Granted, you can't "undo" it, but it's easy to do either a partial or full respray.

Powdercoat is much more durable, and isn't always extremely pricey, and sometimes the wheel manufacturer doesn't make the wheel you want in the color you want it in.

My wheels, for example, look pretty bland in their original finish.

I think that plastidip will actually surprise you on durability.

 

thats what I read...so far so good, got rained on right away

 

^It's a sure way to make it rain.

Middle of a drought? Paint something! You'll have monsoonal rain in minutes!

 

A. Lighter wheels improve handling
B. 45 series ARE low profile
C. On the street a super low profile tire like a 245/35-19 will bounce over road imperfections making you slower and less controlled

the lotus exige comes with 195/50-16 front 225/45-17 rear and its one of the best handling cars in the world

the elise comes with 175/55-16 front 225/45-17 rear

so anyway, what tires do you have again?
