Plasti dipped my wheels. Got tired of the polished look. Stuff only cost $6 a can from Home Depot. Turned out pretty well so i'm happy. If I don't like it, it peels off with ease and the wheels can be polished again. Also tinted the tail lights and side markers.

Looking good. A 28" tire would look so much better in the rear though.

Yeah I know. Just don't wanna re tune it right now for a 28. Maybe over summer.

Nice....

Might be changing them out soon anyway. Dont know if they will fit on an LSX tall deck. :secret2: I am thinking the stock bottem end is on its way out, dont know how much more abuse she will take. So, its time to start accumulating a new setup.

Sorry for the Hijack,

Your rims look nice for a DIY, el cheapo mod. Which fits the budget at this time. Might satisfy the urge for a day or so.

I still need to tint the two front clears like he did. Haven't had a chance yet. Might pick up some fuel for the heater and do that this weekend.

No a guy that's been doing our card for years. He did a really nice job on the back window since that's the hardest one. I think it was like 120 and he comes to your house.

Nothing worse than washing your Black TA... Noticing all the damn scratches and chips. A new one every time.

Hence why I wash mine and take it out at night. I actually don't remember when my car has been out before 5 or 6pm.
