Had a great holiday other than a broken ankle... not really my lucky year haha.

Not much of an update but I know what I'm doing for my next mod and it would be the Escort 9500ix with the ZR4 shifter ad on kit. I get a wicked deal through work so I kinda have to.

little update;
Sold my speakers, which kinda sucks because now I have no sound till my new ones get in.
Hopefully the stage 4 pioneers will be the replacements but it turns out they are incredibly hard to get ahold of, link to speakers

Oh and I get to be in 'Driven' which is this big show hosted at the university here in town so I'll post pictures of it after it happens

I want to make this girl my wifey lol



Rims are 3rd gen TL a-spec (passenger side is 18x8 in black chrome and drivers is 18x8.5 gunmetal... don't ask)
Speakers are pioneer stage 4 speakers (they sound like sex in your ears)
Other than the painted manifold cover nothing else is really new

So I got asked at work if I could use my car to test this new product we got. It's called plastidip and it turned out really cool. What do you guys think?

Pretty much as simple as spray on rubber. It's like 3m'ing your whole car, and relatively cheap. For a job like this it costs about 1500, lasts 2 years and can easily be peeled off at anytime and it comes in tons of colours including clear. It's way my rock chip proof and doesn't scratch as easily.

I'm in love with it other than the fact because it was are first time testing it out you can see spray lines and it has a bit of texture, but with practice is can be just as smooth and blended like paint.

$1500?? I assume thats having it done somewhere. If you were to purchase a paint sprayer (Wagner makes a good one thats actually a household sprayer) that'll be about $200, and the paint is another $200 at max. The Wagner sprays it nice and evenly so it doesnt have a texture.

You dont have to mask off most of the car unless you really want to, because the PD just peels off windows and mirrors. I thought about doing it to the CL just to make it look presentable, Im just still trying to settle on a color.
