Thanks! I’ve actually been looking into ceramic coating, the results seem really impressive. Has anyone on here used ceramic coating on their car?

p4eAaLcLe Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I used blackfire wax brand and it put an incredible depth to my paint and has served excellent protection. It’s been on two years and I will redo it this year, not sure which brand I will go with this time. All though the pearl is less noticeable now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In less than great news, one of my neighbors hit my rear bumper when he was parallel parking last night Hes gonna pay to fix it so I’m not mad. Plus, it kinda needed fresh paint anyways. My car will slowly get all new paint, 1 accident at a time 🤦♂️ In slightly more exciting news, stopped by Semir’s ( @ds50r) shop to get my AC charged up and it feels so nice to have my air working again!

Faaaawwccckkk!!? Just tell the body shop you want a new bumper cover. By the time they repair the scratches, prime, paint, clearcoat, etc.; it's about the same price as new from dealer. At least that's what my body shop told me when this happened to my prior wagon. P.S. take that sticker off the back of your car that says, "HIT ME!" Or does it say, "MAKE MY DAY.."

andyb5 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Unfortunately the AWD bumper is only available in blue at the point so even a new bumper would need prep and paint. I’ll make sure to get that sticker removed ASAP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyb5 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I spent some time over the weekend getting my STI BBS refinished before mounting up some new 225/45/17 Pilot Super Sports and installing everything on my wagon. The damage to this wheel from when I got hit last September is what prompted the refinish effort: Sand the rough parts down, fill with JB Weld, sand some more and it’s ready for primer: Then spray a few coats of primer: Next, a couple coats Duplicolor Wheel Coating and several coats of clear: Install new valve stems, mount the PSS, balance and they’re ready to go on the car: And the end result: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andzey Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Aren't they 5x114 or 5x100? Did you redrilled them to 5x108? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Correct, they’re 5x114.3 so I’m running adapters to bolt them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroiter Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Great looking VR. Hopefully my 2000 VR will be to this point in the future. Sorry if you covered this already but what axles did you use with the M66C? I'm assuming the 99 4 speed axles since you went with the 99 angle gear?
