Nice ... I gotta take my rims off and respray them I love em white but that plasti dip is killin me , maybe some ceramic or gloss I dunno yet . I like the plasti dip but it gets brake dust and they will never become clean again

Powdercoat is the only way to with wheels.. Never had a issue with cleaning, staining etc...

It's nice if it wasn't so expensive

 

[07TLX]

I payed like 350 for mine, but my guy had to put a lot of work into them

 

[VtecBoi_88]

I had a guy tell me five and I said " if I has 500 to blow that's one pay check from flashpro between paint and flashpro , which one do you think is gonna win"

 

[VtecBoi_88]

Hey I was gonna ask, when they changed my tires last time they scuffed the edge of my rims up. If you have powder coat does it get messed up when they change the tires ?

I have a friend who works for Sears and does it for me carefully, last time I got tires installed it took him 2 hours...lol

If you don't have a friend like that there are shops that have machines that don't touch the wheels.

Flash pro came out to late for my car for me to warrant the cost.

500 is steep thou.... Shop around. I was quoted between 350-1200 for powder and 350 won and it was awesome work.

I wouldn't afford either but I got a nice tax return from the military so figured might as well get a couple of the expensive things like the flashpro and skunk 2 header/exhaust I can save little by little for other things later

For sure man , that's my go to argument everyone is like " I can whip that Si" and I say " yep but I bet your car isn't half as fun to drive" I drive my car every chance I get and I'm always satisfied

FP/Tune and upgraded rear sway bar.

What lights you thinking about? If you're considering HIDs just save up and get projector retrofits. It is seriously the best thing I have ever done to my car. totally worth every cent.

Hi all, I'd like to make this year. It's been a few years since i last went with 8thCiv. Death_Roll & K757 I had the modded black MazdaSpeed3

Next to K757 WRX


After a spirited run and people down to the exhaust shoot


The civics been gone for a while, and so has the MS3. So i'd be coming in the current DD.

Why just rear sway bar and not both ?

Many many threads..... Larger rear sway = better handling. Car is setup for massive understeer. Leave the front alone. Larger rear will help reduce understeer and car corner better.
