[QUOTE="AIpine, post: 8392853, member: 666056"] Thought I'd show you guys what I've been doing to my car the last few days- _ Last week, my battery died. Ordered a Optima RedTop batt immediately after. Got it in the mail two days ago and for some reason I decided to start experimenting with Plasti Dip that same day. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/tkAO7fr.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/tkAO7fr.jpg[/URL] Replacing the battery in my car is a ******* joke. I will never understand who thought putting the battery in the wheel well was a good idea. Anyways, got that swapped out and got each rim plasti dipped. Took about 4 hours to dip all 4 wheels and change my batt. (Took so long because of the battery placement and because I had a ****** jack and had to do each wheel one by one.) [URL="http://i.imgur.com/bTyRqjI.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/bTyRqjI.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://i.imgur.com/KH0oJnw.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/KH0oJnw.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://i.imgur.com/0S2rd1m.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/0S2rd1m.jpg[/URL] The following day my MRX-M110 and my HD149BT came in the mail! Back to work! Got my old Fosgate R500X1D swapped out and the MRX-M110 in! Got my ****** old HU out and the HD149BT in. Took about an hour to get everything installed nicely. Don't mind the partial air freshener stuck in my vents lol. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/icLEHWk.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/icLEHWk.jpg[/URL] I'll post a picture of the MRX if requested. I forgot to take one. TODAY! Blacked out all my emblems with dip and got my subs mounted down in my trunk.

Seems to be holding up very well so far. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/YiWID20.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/YiWID20.jpg[/URL] FINSIHED FOR NOW: [URL="http://i.imgur.com/4FmV5NN.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/4FmV5NN.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://i.imgur.com/45v1jP5.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/45v1jP5.jpg[/URL] Doesn't look so bad for a garbage old car ay?
