yeah, i flattened them as much as i could. and you can still see the waves on em. i was thinking of using bondo, but figured it would crack everytime i would rub. so might as well get brand new fenders and start over.

jasper, yeah im painting them myself. im using the same paint as i did when i painted my sideskirts. its a pretty close match. you can even see the flakes in them too. i got my paint from automotivetouchup.com

 

You did it with a rattle can?

 

yeah, i get the 12oz rattle can. its a pretty damn close color match. i should do a closeup shot. this photo shows the skirt that i rattled. you can hardly tell its rattled.

me and my buddies from Team Nuisance held a meet last night in Gardena. pretty good turnout i'd say. someone got a pretty sick shot of my car.

 

Niiiice. And even right there the fender looks pretty good. I might want to run it like that for a bit lol

 

dang, i havnt updated this in a long time. i showed my car at Motion Auto Show last week at the Long Beach Convention. these are some pics from a couple well known blogs





then a couple days after that, me and a friend painted my fenders



first, we wetsanded the fenders down with 600 grit. then a couple coats of primer, then wetsand with 1000 grit, then a few coats of base. the base i used was just the 12oz rattle can from automotivetouchup.com. i used one can for each fender. then i wetsanded with 1000 grit. then clear coated it with duplicolor clear coat. i let it sit for a couple days for the clear coat to cure, then i wetsanded with 1000 grit, then bumped it up to 2000 grit. then finally buffed, waxed, and polish them. they turned up pretty good IMO.


and a little bit of fun. isnt he adorable??!?!


heres what how they came out. looks pretty good to me. hehe


and then this past saturday, i showed at Wekfest in Long Beach

 

looks great!

dang, i havnt been on my thread in a long time. well, i hvant really done much to my car. the other week, i got pulled over for "being too low". the officer gave me a fix-it ticket for the ride height, but he gave me a state ref for my exhaust. $500 just that that BS. so i raised the car, removed all my exhaust/intake systems, got it on a dyno, passed with flying colors, paid off the ticket. and now im back to normal. haha. but im selling my exhaust and midpipe. i kinda like how my car is super quiet now. haha. so keep a look out for those parts.

btw, i went to autocon this past weekend in arcadia. it was really fun. i didnt get to see that many tCs there though. but heres a video my homie took of me and my team washing cars before the show.

 

You actually had to pay the $500?

His videos are so dope.! Haha.! Wish I would of gone.!

 

I hate to see nice cars being cleaned at car washes...2 bucket method it next time please!

 

Yup..I have never once taken my car to one of those places...they Scratch the crap outta the paint too.

 

Just don't use the brush and you'll be fine. I wash my WRX at those all the time. I just stay away from the brush lol Fun video btw!

 

^Same I don't use the brush either at the washes.

 

There's absolutely nothing wrong with those car washes. Just something hipsters say. It's just the big brush that's a little sketchy.

Cool video, Jeremy. Car looks great.

 

Hey jeremy, car looks great man. What is the specs of the wheels? not sure if you posted it allready but i couldnt find it.
