Clean youre black plastic then take some good spray paint and repaint them. You wouldnt believe the difference it makes in there. Then just scrub your springs/shocks a lil

Not trying to steal the thread but, I saw someone on here mention coating wheel wells in 3-m spray rubber to blacken and sound deaden. Any ideas?

This is what I did to get my car ready for the Seattle Roadster show. It works great. You just have to tape a bunch of **** off so you don't get it all over your shocks, springs and exhaust.

With my last car I used a wire brush to scrub the **** out of it, then I painted it with several layers of high gloss black. It was easy to keep clean after that. BTW nice screenname!
