I mean for that price would it even matter if they only lasted a year? If your wanting something that lasts and is an upgrade then look into the Mirimoto XB and never worry again
Is it direct fit on? It looks great and nice for the price. Not sure how long it will last.
Its just a bulb replacement. They are LED so I would imagine they will last as long as I own the car. Not really sure, but I have been using them quite a bit lately without any issues.
Not sure why they would not last though, again, its just a set of LEDs.
This was a great thread on my old car forum. It was basically an epic thread that just continued to get bigger and more creative. The basic premise is for this to be a one stop thread for cheap mods. $40 and under mods only. Basically im a cheap bastard and I know others are too.
I can hear it now. "You paid too much for your car to do cheap mods". The goal here is for inexpensive, cost wise, not cheap looking. I haven't done these mods, but here's what I'm getting at
COST - essentially free
Debadge your trunk. More than likely you'll have all the stuff you need lying around your house. First heat up the emblems by parking your car in the sun or using a hair dryer. Use dental floss to get behind and "cut" off the emblems. Now a little goo gone (even iso alcohol will work), now a quick compounding and wax and you're done.
Cost - $20
Plastidip wheels black. Real easy way to see what your car looks like with black wheels. I would not recommend for the long haul, but definitely good for a few months. I haven't done this to the G, but I did dip my VW wheels at one point.
Please add your own...
- I dipped mine, I personally liked it, it last about 3-5 months depending on the amount of coats you put on.
I recently bought a set of the M45S wheels. They have a bit of curb rash and some imperfections. Will plastidip fill any of those imperfections in? I have used the stuff several times before, but only on parts and pieces that were in very good condition.

- It definitely makes the curb rash on my wheels less noticeable

Nope. If you want to do it properly just get some filler and sand down the rash and fill it, sand it and then spray.

This is something I've been hesitating to do to my stock wheels. Yours lookslike it turned out pretty well. Do you have any additional photos from a side view without the masking paper?
I dipped mine too just to see if I like the colour (going to try gloss black next season) Still in perfect condition after 10k km. This colour is Hyper Silver Pearl over a black base.
Looks nice John, what made you decide on that particular color? Does it go w/ the oil dipstick Post a couple details on how you went about it and kept the logo so clean.
I like this idea, I will probably go with a different color but I am glad I saw it. Good mask job
