Re: What’s the best way to paint the JDM bumpers

Looking good man, I just wrote up a little reply aimed for a DIY guy but it looks like you work in a body shop too? I would just try a grey pad and adhesion promoter before the trim black. and hit it with the lamp just to be safe.

Are you going two tone? looks very tricky to mask

Do sticky tires rock chip our cars?

Wondering if true sticky tires like Hoosiers, etc, throw up a lot of rocks on our car.
Not looking to damage my paint.
So far the stickiest tire I've had was re71r and i didn't get any chips on the exterior.

Wheel sets are 15x8 +0 and 15x8.5. Car is fairly low. With oem skirts
Thank u guys

Re: Work Equip 03 + T3 baby daddy brake kit

Wondering the same with CR-01 15" and the older wilwood 4pots. Would like to order o-disk but worried it will hit the caliper. :(

Wish Work offered this information on their website. The chart only shows lip size. I am waiting to hear back from them.

Could LED sealed beam melt a headlight plug? (fixed!)

Driver's headlight won't work on low. On high, both sections work. Swapped the driver and pass'r lights, problem persists, so it's not the bulbs. Put a brand-new switch, but that wasn't it (whoops) Looked at the plug (brown one that the sealed beam plugs into), and the brown plastic is a bit melted....

Problems with low beam switch - And, how to reattach signal stalk properly?

Hey all I put in LED sealed beams about 1 year ago. Been dailying it without issue until now, the Low-beam stopped working only on one side. I swapped the bulbs and problem persisted (same side), so it's not the bulbs. 1. I read online it could be either the signal stalk, or the white dial switch. R...

Thanks man, those look pretty cool. Yes the bride mats cost a lot and don't really flow with my oem interior, and I was looking at some RHD chequer ones which were asking $550USD (not karo, can't remember the brand)

The recaros got all chewed up, it smells very bad, and there are 100s of little mouse droppings everywhere. Honestly I just took one look inside the car and shut the door in despair! So I'm not sure how bad ...
