Welp, finally did it, got the CE28's, and while they were being mounted, i spent about 5 hours detailing the exterior. Washed with Z1 soap, spot clay bar application, then 2 coats of z5 polis, 2 coats of z2 polish, Z6 detail spray, then z8 show spray. Came out really nice.

Then, thanks to Cal @ Speed Element, was able to drive over and pick up my new wheels with 245-40-18 RE01-R's freshly mounted, and got them installed (Thanks Mike!).

So, starting out with some pics of the mirror like finish.







And a couple quick shots of the new wheels, outside of SE and 1 in my garage:

 

sweet looks good. lot of work but always worth it

 

Very clean and good looking evo. Speed Element ftw too.

 

nice wax and wheels

 

 

To be honest, i don't like the wheels

But i've noticed more then once that the people in the US (you guys) are more into black and dark rims instead of shiny rims in Europe

That's why i ordered a set of Volk GT-U 18*9 +29 last week.
Normaly i have them next week.

 

looks great!!

 

i love and hate zaino! after i do wax/clay/2-3 coats, i literally collapse from the exhaustion.

 

Looking good!

 

wow, that is a damn clean black evo. the wheels are sick

 

wow... talk about deja vu... looks almost identical to my car....

bump for awesome taste...

 

hott

 

+1 for Zaino! Ive got some Z2, Z5, Z6 and a couple other things coming. Including the newer AIO

 

porter cable ftw... Now you need some tire spray to match them with the rest of the evo.. but DAMN thats one nicely detailed car!

 

why are the ta ce's so much more popular than the ta te's??
