Unsp0kn Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah I'd dip up to the top of the exhaust cutouts all the way across like GTEASER did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think you mentioned in the other thread that you need to unbolt the steering coupler bolts from the steering column shaft and rack. You do not need to do that in order to install this IIRC.

ripstik Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Only dip when its warmer than 65. It lays out better. Warm temps is the key, it will allow the dip to flatten out better and when you add coats it will liquefy more quickly and give you a more even finish. I've never had great luck with any dip project unless it's at least 65F. I may try again on a warmer day, take my time, I do love how there's no chrome anymore if you can keep the can warm it will work well even if where you are painting is pretty cold. the warmer the can the higher the pressure inside which makes for better atomization which is what gives a nice even flat finish. WARNING: do NOT heat the can past anything uncomfortable for your hand 100F is about as high as you want to go. if you can't rest your hand in it easily it's too hot and dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsp0kn Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I set my can on the heater vent in my basement so it's warm to the touch, nothing hotter than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is installed now! Took it for a test drive but don't notice anything right away, except the placebo effect. Maybe less swaying on the highway, need a longer highway drive to really notice.

Cup_of_Joe Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 So I have enough for one big upgrade, what do you guys recommend first? Bilsteins and blacks, or 19s and some performance tires?

Sarang Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 bils and blacks for sure. stock suspension suuuuuuucks on the '10s. aren't konis cheaper though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be, but I don't want to go through all that work. Not that I even know how to. I think its about $1500 shipped or so for the bilsteins and blacks. And figured tires and wheels would be around the same price. Are bilstein top of the line? Besides coils.

GTEASER Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 You'll get much more enjoyment out of your car with better ride and handling. Will you be doing the suspension install yourself or having a shop do it? You can do Koni's and Blacks for just about $1100, and you're 1/4 of the way to new wheels and tires. I can help you out with the Koni build. And adjustable.

Don't think I'd do it myself, might be out of my skillset at the moment. Sent from my LG-ls990 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
