Just hit 100k a few weeks ago and put some of the stuff i had laying around on the car. Got a slightly used set of Hotchkis springs and really liking them for DDing. then I got tired of cleaning the rpf1's every weekend and eventually want black wheels so i gave plasti dip a try before i commit to something permanent. This is the first time putting springs on any of my cars, but would anyone recommended I use spacers or is my setup fine the way it is?



















Moved my battery to the trunk and painted my new charge piping wrinkle black.

 

Looks clean man

 

Looks good sir! I like the caliper color, now you just need some IX tail lights...

 

thanks, painting headlights and tails as soon as i get a free weekend

 

Looks good, what side skirt is that?

 

maybe rexpeed side skirt extensions?

car looks great, what kit did you go with for the battery in the trunk?

 

ebay plastic replicas of rexpeed side skirt extensions, i think from baysonR, I would love all carbon stuff but my daily driving would have destroyed em in no time, hit plenty of shredded truck tires, flying salt and other stuff and only suffered chipped paint

bulit my own battery relocation kit with 0-gauge wire and marine battery box from advance auto parts

 

hid the wires the other day

 

you think cleaning your wheel was a pita before, wait till you try to clean them now. Looks good though

 

They're black

 

i liked the wheels a lot more before but props on doing something you like

 

I did a thread months back on the Plasti Dip.

Several liked the idea others were quite rude.


As for cleaning them goes it is simple spray them off. If some dirt hold a bit use a small soft brush. Once they get to dirty or bad you peel it off and do it all again. Not that big a deal to clean or remove.



Good job OP.

 

thanks for the comments ill see how they hold up during the next few weeks

 

I think they will hold up great.


I did mine way back in March. This is a pic from a couple weeks ago in a creek bed.




They dull a bit more and will be more of a flat, but for me that is fine. Silver/black combo looks awesome.

 

Not trying to hijack your thread with my pic just letting you see several months and areas I take my evo as an example of how well they hold up.
