    Default GP Ready for winter w/ tires, plasti dip'd wheels & projectors

    Aside from another radiator flush to remove more old Dexcool gunk, and refill again with more green, my winterizing is pretty much complete.

    In the last week, projector retrofitted headlights have been added for increased vision. Now, in the last two days I've plasti dip'd my factory wheels to hide curb rash and make them look refinished, then mounted and balanced them on Bridgestone Blizzaks. Yes, I know I did that backwards, and I did peel off some of the plasti dip when I mounted the tires, but a little touch up took care of that. They are going to be my winter wheels from now on so I can't see justifying paying that much when they'll be covered in snow anyway. I'd say they look pretty damn good for $6 a can/2 cans over $500+ for powdercoating. Let me know what ya think..
