Default Well looks like it's almost time to finish my appearance mods

Well I'll be finishing up my appearance mods in mid October and I'm starting this thread to list my mods so you all can get an idea of what Leila will look like once done...

currently installed parts: K&N filter, CS racing(red) motor and trans mounts, caggs eliminator, PISNUOFF stock modified shifter, TDP Stage 2 trans, Diamond Stage 2 Clutch w/ lightweight flywheel, Gen 4 rear differential, muffler delete & Magnaflow Tips.

currently owned parts: H&R lowering springs, Hurst modified shifter via 07CTS-V.

Needed parts for install: MM Spacer kit, enough Plastidip to do wheels, front grills and all chrome, black rear window wing, side window wind guards or whatever they are called. AND DONE!!!

so how much $$ well it take to get enough Plastidip? I was thinking $40 should cover it...

anyone with my car color on stock wheels lowered with all chrome blacked out feel free to post some pics so I can drool over them! lol

You'll need at least 1 can per wheel and I'd say about 3 cans for the grills, although I've never done the grills myself.

Do the spraying in the garage if you can. The more still and clean the surrounding air is, the smoother the dip will lay down. It's dense enough that there's not a ton of overspray.
