I painted the wipers matt black, fitted new windscreen surrounds, fitted new weather strips on both doors, fitted new door trims, fitted a cup holder, and painted the roof mouldings in Plastidip matte black. Replaced the bent and tatty board that covers the spare wheel in the boot, with a piece of black perspex, light and strong.
Also painted ONE of my wheels in Plastidip White, interested to see how durable it is, how dirty it gets from brake dust, and how easy it is to clean.
I also bought an oven off ebay for 99 cents!
I plan to paint the wheels in championship white, and bake them in the oven to improve the durability of the paint. We will see how that goes. My wife won't let me bake wheels in the kitchen!

Plastidip sucks I have decided. White for a week, then grey and black because of the brake dust. Yes, you can clean them, but they only come up average. Black or dark colours would be OK. Rattle canned 2 of my wheels in white, baked in the "oven" for 4 hours at 150 degrees (according to my metallurgist friend this will do NO harm to the strength of the alloy). The paint has set like a rock, very hard. Polished the paint with 1500 wet and dry, then water rubbing compound, then polish, and they look like new.
New Spoon duracon knob, and a set of 20 Gorilla lock nuts to keep the wheels in place.

People need to relax and put the plastidip cans down. It never looks good on anything.

Its been a long time since i have posted any pictures of my recent project.
I have gotten tired of my AWD and have since moved back to a Honda.
After reading pages and pages of build threads i got to work on my own.
I will be using this car as a Track dedicated car and currently running a D16 SOHC. Once the motor blows, i will decide what upgrade will follow.
I have removed all the interior and sound deadening as well as the firewall padding.
Things To Do/Buy
Paint the Interior (not sure on colour yet....ideas?)
Coilovers
ITR Rear Sway Bar
ASR Subframe
Camber Kit F+R
Bride Seat
X Brace
Nardi Steering
15" Wheels
Not sure what else i will end up getting for the car.
but will update as i progress.

Dead right, plastidip sucks, BUT, I will say, the one thing I have found it useful for is the mouldings in the roof. Painted them a nice matte black in Plastidip. The plastidip smoothed out all the tiny cracks, and gives a nice finish. I must admit though on REALLY hot days the plastidip feels a bit tacky.
