In regards to the paint holding up to heat, dirt, and grime: It holds up VERY well. The clear coat on there is thick and protective. Nothing is getting lodged into anything.

The paint is not for touch up, its for whatever the hell you want it to go on thats metal or similar: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/metalcast.html

It's super easy to wash all the dirt and **** off too. Trust me, they got dirty as hell this past weekend after sliding off the track some and doing 4 wheel dirt slides. Held up fine.

Wheels no rub on body. stiff suspension.

haha, green? I dunno, my friend's SR valve cover was a similar color, and I was like oh **** it I wanna do something just plain rad. I don't mind the confused looks I get from everyone around town

As for the cost: enough.

Thanks for all the props, guys, I mean it. I didn't expect it at all!

nah, thats plenty low enough. the slammed look is more for 240's, or civics, since the look like **** anyways.
nice *** car, dont get the green paint, but its one of those "..........**** it, lets do it". respectable.
i wasnt gunna do mb weapon, but those look hella good.
(i think i already said that previously, oh well)
A+

peace

Yea I think the stance is just right. Jus add a little lip on the front, maybe some sideskirts or something, but it looks good the way it is. Keep that stock, lowered, and mean look with them tucked wheels. lol If that makes any sense.

Still looks sexy every time I read this thread.

STANCE nice, I'm considering on it, I don't really like my tokico bue with tein s tech combo, so I might sell that to someone cheap and get a set of new STANCE =)

but STANCE what GR+ and there are others "what do they mean?"

what offer to FC application for what I see on the website, we can get the GR+ and the GR+ Pro, which one do you have skizzles?
