Yeah, I'm gonna try plasti, next. After seeing the carbon wrap IRL, I'm not a big fan of it. I still have about 4.75 metres left of it >__<

I can't remember the brand name, but there's a company in Australia that do gloss black plasti so I'll be giving that a shot. I think the American company only does matte.

I think you have Pirelli CINTURATO P1 tyres. Are they any good ?

I've had them for about 8 months now and they're pretty awesome. Very grippy, great in the wet, quiet tyre. Highly recommend them.

I've been told you can buy it from Bunnings for pretty cheap and pretty easy to replace, apparently.

I'm gonna paint my rims white next. Been meaning to ask chrischris if he knows the color code of his white evo rims. Looks good. Waiting on my DRL and rubber universal lip. Those are first on the list

Also have a spoiler and rear lip. Gonna install them when I have time. All DIY LOL

If i were you, I would peel that piece on your door handle off and draw a better template out of it and put the template on with hair dryer.

Yep, definitely gonna have a look at bunnings. So sick of the crappy stock mesh haha. Devaluing of FD's sick look, IMO LOL

I painted the rims white my self. I didnt do a clear coat which i should have, the finish has some texture which makes it hard to clean. Its painted with 3$ paint from bunnings. and i used some left over white engine paint from autobarn, but that costs 15-20$ a can. I used around one can per rim.

When i sprayed the rims blue i did 2 heavy coats of clear and the finish is really smooth all round, dirt just wipes clean

And about the bumper, on first glance it looked like the same colour as the car lol

hey guys owned the fd1 for about 3 months now. Some of mods so far include double din touch screen,sub, Cold air intake, Varex muffler (which sounds VERY QUITE OPEN), mugen window visors, rear visors, reverse camera and got some new rims yesterday Enkei Bortex 17x8 235/45 slightly scrubs when i turn hard, Can you guys suggest what to do next? i don't really want to remove the resonator but some one said thats pretty much the only thing you can do to get a better sound, does anybody have a video of theirs? Or if i do a straight pipe would that be quite expensive? currently got mugen grill but its unpainted.

I've said this so man times lol Wheen someone asks me for exhaust advice.
You have the same Varex as mine. You dont necessarily have to remove the resonator/s
You can change it to a highflow muffler if you rally dont want it loud. Unsilenced B-Pipes are cheap these days
I know a guy that does it for $90 fitted for a 2". But hes in Melbourne. Im sure prices wouldnt be too much of a difference around Australia.
But if you're scared of being too loud and what not. Dont be.. Thats the advantage of having a Varex. You can open and close it.
And honestly.. FDs sounds nice without resonators. I love my exhaust. @DAN, @NeedVtec & @NedKerry can vouch for me aswell.
They have heard my car up close and personal and they like it.

This was when I had 1 Resonator removed. I have all removed now. Sounds the same but alot louder.
