i also decided with the left over to do a couple coats on the spoiler. the glossifier can was giving me hell so i decided to not put any on. ill prolly just peel it off later and redo it.

Looks like it came out good. I wanna do my rims, but not sure what color. I'm thinking some sort of dark gray with glossifier. I've got a lazer blue LSJ.
Wish I had a set of the LNF wheels.

That's what makes me sick....

My rims are painted (factory paint from enkei). Him being carless like that could easily damage my mint conditon rims. I dread when I need new tires.

Glad my tire guy knows what he's doing when mounting or dismounting tires.

I havent had an issue with the Jack Williams I go to, but people like the asshat in the video are out there.

I always warn the people to be very careful with the wheels, and watch them as they install the tire.

I had the one guy so nervous, he forgot to give me my free alignment, lol.

My plasti dip did not fair to well on my bmw with the tsw's. I couldn't run it through a car wash, and if a tire went down, they always messed it up.

Lazer blue SS, what color should I go for with my wheels. Can't decide, was thinking some sorta gold but not sure how it'd look with the big spokes it has. (I like the Subaru look, blue with gold wheels)
