^I wish. The owner is a really good friend on mine. He has offered to let me drive it, but I've been really hesitant to take it. If something were to happen to it I think I would have a coronary. Like another friend of mine says "It has full coverage, but if you crash make sure you total it. Don't bring it missing a headlight or some stupidity"

First update.

I finally got my double din installed.
I would highly recommend these new line of bluetooth models from pioneer. The sound is a world of difference from their older models. And the bluetooth does support andriod phones. My galaxy s4 connects no problwm and plays music from my phone and calls. Im loving this thing.

Driver side rear sits lower. Has been like that for years. Im going by my friends shop today and see what could be causing it. But its never given me a problem just sits about half lower than the rest of the car.

Passenger side rear. Pic above is drivers side.

I ended up dipping the whole car for now and will be repainting the car at a later time.

I will post pics later of the car dipped and with the drop completely done.

Your looking at the first anthracite dipped anthracite metallic tl. I bought it on ebay paid 65 shipped for the gallon. They had a sale during December, the had a dipyourcar sticker on it so either the dyc guys have an ebay under another name or the seller buys from them. Seller is from west palm. And dyc is too he didn't admit to it but I doubt its a coincidence

Dude looks good!
I think a set of rims will really set it off!

The thing with plastidip is that I can see it being hard to clean if bird poo gets on and sticks to it. That first coat really makes all the difference.

How has it been maintaining it?
