really cool how you change colors all the time lol, do you have a whole spare front end for when you get bored and want to change things up? Noticed you have different mirrors, hood, front bumper. Also did you find it fairly easy to learn how to dip your own car?

LOL!, I know.. Shoot was at DGRR and it rained few minutes before and didn't get a chance to wash the car.. Center cap, its pretty much cut CF with a sticker on it.

Thanks! I do in fact have several body parts and dipping is an easy process.

Hey Phil, where did you get the hood dampers for the Gold Fd? I am guessing they are half pressure shocks, but I REALLY like the brackets as they look a hell of a lot beefier than the ones that I had on mine before. I need a better bracket to work with my Feed hood. Thanks!

They are Rotary Extreme Hood Dampers.. They are by far the best ones available for our cars.. I have them on all three FDs.

Thank you!
Sent them an email since it seems they have temporarily disabled their site to catch up on work. Hopefully I can get a set for my FD.

I finally paid attention long enough to go read up and watch the videos on plasti-dip.
I wish I had seen that prior to painting my car last year. I would have just done that and saved myself a boatload of time and money. It is nice to know I can go that route when I get sick of my current paint job.

Phil did you spray the plasti-dip yourself or did you have it done?

Well, after over a year with plasti dip on my car, I've decided to peel it and do some detailing of the car.

Friend of mine started a detailing product company in Florida called, 'Stay Fresh Car Car' (Stay Fresh Car Care / Premium Car Care Supplies) and I used their products to detail my RX7.

Before detailing - little bit of haze to the clear.

Products worked really well. Easy to apply, easy to remove, and smelled great too!
I would highly recommend giving their product a chance!
