I have an old f-body friend who went through a small phase where, in the name of weight saving, he removed all kinds of crap from his car. Seats, carpeting... If something was secured with 5 screws from the factory, he'd remove 3 and hope for the best. He even removed the styrofoam from behind the bumper cover. Insanity.

I'm sending him this pic to see what he thinks about these weight savings. .

06GT/ArizonaGT, are you going all out and getting the MMR carbon dash and carbon doors and trunk?

Love the sound and the looks. My installer didn't have to cut the bumper? Just added the Valence for the quads.

Here's a video of them with AED Lopey

ahhem. Flame suit on. Keep in mind, these are sacrificial, peel-away layers, that (I hope) will prevent the front end from being peppered with road debris next spring on the big road trip. The wheels are, well, just for fun. I got tired of the black wagon wheels, I figured they should at least look like wagon wheels. actually they are vintage gold... because RACECAR. And before you say SUBARU, come up with something I haven't already heard, LOL.

Ok I'll try! You trying to look like this?



Hey man to each his own it looks well done!

Think the wheels look better then the black. No idea why Ford went with black wheels on the Kona cars, and the black spoiler pisses me off sometimes. Did you do the front with a vinyl wrap or is it "Plastic Dip".

max5ive0

Thanks guys, Gary, something like that.

Brandon, it is Plastidip. It is kind of a learning curve, ie, the front wheels look way better than the rear. The I ran out of white so I might have to respray the front to make it less translucent, not that you can tell from pics. I also got some runs in some places that I might be able to fix. After all, it's like I have an UNDO 🔙 button

Looks good, nice added protection too. I am on the fence about doing a matte clear spray over the whole car once I get all the swirls and scratches buffed out, should protect it and give a cool frosted look to the blue.

max5ive0

There is a drawback. Getting into all the crevices to clean out the overspray, like door seams, behind the quarter windows, etc. I don't really recommend the whole car spray. Maybe consider a vinyl wrap for that job or the semi permanent clear bras.

Brandon302

This is true, I think you could always wax the sections that you don't want the spray on, similar to the idea that you put tire shine on the tires so you can spray the wheels without masking them off.

max5ive0

Yeah that may help

Gold is a horrible color, at least on that car and on those wheels. The front end looks like it was in an accident, and awaiting paint.

No flames from me. I've been window shopping gold wheels (along with white) for my Kona Blue for some time. Expect big changes come Spring.
