WINTER MODE

Well she is already dropped as low as I wanna go. The STI lip I run in the summer is screaming for mercy 90% of the time. It has swift springs, and I wanna keep some meatier winter treads on. I dont wanna go much more low profile on 17's for winter.

The summer 18" wheels are all torn down and heading off for a powdercoat treatment tomorrow! Hehe.

 
^At GDL I assume? I need to bring my summers their sometime before spring hits.

Good thinking taking the lip off for the winter. I'm in the same situation... if I ran my STi V1 during the winter, I could open up my own plow business

Nope. I found another guy in Auburn. Maine Metal Coating. He turn around is AWESOME!, I will have them back the middle of the week. I will post up pics.

This guy is a real car guy (owns a corvette) so he understood cars and wheels. He offers high temp coating (bonus), and his price was lower the GDL (I didnt think it was possible). Im testing the waters to see the quality, and we will see if he might wanna advertise here.

PS: Think I will be having my catback and DP high temp coated at some point this summer when I can be without a car for a few days. Depending on how corageous I am I might have the UP done too. One thing I hate about the heat wrap I'm running on the DP is, it muffles the turbo sounds.

 
Cheaper than GDL? Holy crap, hard to believe. Is that the same place as Performance Product Painting? May I ask what he's charging? PM me if need be...

It was a 78 yamaha xs 650 that I chopped up. I have some pics of it in my profile, if you wanna check it out.

Bugeye looks good! Is it lifted, or are the wheels/tires just smaller diameter?

Thanks and no It's on stock suspension and 16" rims with 205/55/16 tires, It does sit pretty high though lol. I have tein superstreets in the garage waiting for spring.

 
I was waiting to put pics up on here until I got everything for winter on the car, but after I did I kept forgetting to take the damn pictures. SO... here they are, all dirty as usual.
