I looked at the stick on ones too, but I'm a huge fan of in channel wind deflectors. They take so much pain out of the ***.

The older cars were so much easier to take apart. The smallest tension breaks clips forever! Just wondering where you sourced out that PDF schematic.

Sounds like you need to have a backup computer.. One you use for downloading vids from the intercloud and another just for finding links & info for the forums...

Glad to see you're back up with a simple system restore!

In my apartment I have a desktop, 3 laptops, a tablet, and my phone I just needed to fix the issue at hand.

And she got an earful

I like the dipped wheels but please anyone who is going to dip wheels Remove the wheels from the car this way you don't dip the lug nuts while they are holding the wheels on. Once you do a tire rotation or take the wheel off the lugs will peel and they will start to peel from the wheels from where the lug is seated to the wheel and then coated..... this seems like a lot of extra work you will be doing everytime you remove the wheels.

Overall The car looks good. are you going to do the chrome trim around the front grill?

Great point here. I've started looking into the process to spray my wheels as well on my black OS. I was literally thinking about the same issues you mentioned above. I was thinking maybe just taping off the lug nuts while I spray. I know, insanely long process, but I don't have the means to take the wheels off. Think doing that would work?

even with just taping over the tops of the lug nuts this will not work do to the lugs mitsu uses. they have that washer at the bottom. taping the whole lug without taping it off will be next to impossible. if you could tape the top you would be coating the washer to the lug and the washer to the wheel......

All the OS and most cars come with a jack and a lug nut wrench. doesn't take long just make sure chock the tires and a jack stand would be a great help as well.

I think I may dip my wheels with the grey smoke to make it look more like a dark silver, but then again I have evo X wheels I need to put on....

I've done it both ways before and had my entire vehicle on jack stands and it's just not worth the time and effort to me. I don't really care about paint coming off the lug nuts as I expect it to, and I never had dip start pealing off from the lug area because of the nuts.

I kind of like the chrome around the trapezoid grill, it really brings out the shape.

if it doesn't matter to you then that's fine. I was just saying if your removing lugs it will start peeling overall. yeah I am up in the air about the chrome trim on mine, I was going to wrap them with smoked vinyl to give it a black chrome look but Im just not sure exactly what I'm doing!

Overall good work and keep it clean!
