Here's the rims all prepped and ready for the first coat.

The Final Product (color looks weird because i had a flashlight and my phone flash on)

Wow that looks like some deep pitting in the rims! Did you fill them in at all and prep or did the plasti dip fill in for you?

Great stuff man can't wait for more updates!

16x7.5 +40, was gonna find some 17's but for the price and little fender work I couldn't resist

The plasti dip did a great job of making an even surface and thanks! Should be a big year for my car so stick around

Thinking about an Eibach Pro Kit, I've heard so much good about it. Anyone know the drop it provides? And what's the most cost efficient place to buy them?

 

[Pimpecoven]

Took a break from studying and got a much needed new battery in my car. What's generally quite the easy project was a pain because the last mechanic under my hood decided to torque down the driver's side of my sway bar... eventually got it off.

The old *****...

Side by Side...

Still looking at lowering springs and leaning towards Eibach Pro Kit! I really value your opinions so let me know what you think!

I was driving around the other night and noticed my lights looked a little dim... sure enough the passenger light was pink and dying. I ordered up a 5000k 55w kit since mine were 35w, I was overly impressed with the product I ordered! Innovited HIDs are the best by far! Only $48, free standard shipping, but they were delivered just two days after my order! Here's some pictures...

10000k with passenger side dying

In the box

I prefer their 3m double sided sticky pad instead of a harness, especially in the p5's engine bay.

I'll get a good picture with them on once the sun goes down

Best I got for now

Thanks! I've been following your build a bit and you should get one! they're like $4 and the creator is really cool! Can't wait for this weekend, my p5 will finally be somewhat competitive with yours and others on here!

 

[lownslowp5]

I didn't do the lower in or some of the other stuff ... just got it unfortunately! You get to do the fun part installing and putting together your master peice! Im adding to it though probably gonna change the stance up a bit and do other fun and exciting things ! Look forward to watching your build !

I guess you're right, the great thing about these cars is there's always something to do whether it be a little mod or a new part! But ill be following yours as well! I want your lip and grille so bad
Btw, I saw you were asking about miata pistons in the mp5's, did you ever get an answer on that if it gives more power?

 

[lownslowp5]

Yes I was told it wouldn't work... but I dont see why not. They are domed creating higher compression. Maybe they just dont fit in the block. I want my grill to :*/ it hasnt arrived yet lol ! It should be in the states now it came from hong kong!

Waiting for parts always kills me... And I'm off living at my college so my parents send pictures of them and tease me and say "I'm gonna open them..." It drives me crazy!!

 

[lownslowp5]

I hear that! I check my mail dailey for all my stuff coming in! Its sad when its not there haha
