Thank you! I chipped all of the old clear off then wet sanded with 400. Then I sprayed with duplicolor red caliper paint, did about 5 coats to help full in imperfections. Ten I sprayed 3 coats of duplicolor 500 degree engine clear (this stuff lays very flat... Like glass) then waited an hour, decals and 3 more heavy coats of clear. They seriously look better in person. Very happy with the results but I didn't rush the prep. Now I just need to find the brembo bleeder caps as someone never put these back on.

You could have a real bad day at work and the ride home in the evo makes it so much better

tried to lower the subframe to make my tranny and transfer case removal easier... couldn't get the tie rod ends to come out of the spindle

I guess I need a BFH to get the job done right

Not too shabby for my very first attempt at tuning (street). Going back tomorrow to let the pros (dynotech) clean it up and make more
