Haha well I'm not sure if there's a proper way to do it but I used a heat gun (or a hair dryer would do) and fishing wire to slowly and carefully take it off, there's a couple of pins on my rear badge which I had to slice around. Then I painted it and reheated the same glue to put it back on :)

[jeffy]

^use plasti-dip, its easier :]

[david.]

oh yeah i read a DIY about someone doing it on a lexus, didn't know where to buy it back then though haha. but i saw somewhere that theres a distributor in melbourne, $25 or $30/can. Was thinking of doing my wheels! but can't anymore, got fined twice this week -.-

[jeffy]

Haven't really updated this post in a while, been busy with uni, exams, work, spending money on the car, stuff like that :)

Since the last update I've bought new HID bulbs for the car, woke up one day and realized that the ones I had were stuuuupid, so I just bought some cheap ones off eBay from China.

4300K for low beams and 3000k for foglights.

Got different rims + rubber too, thanks to mick :) Awesome grip compared to the Nankang's on my stockies.

And I decided that the car was a bit too high for my liking..

Yeah thats right, COILS! Got a set of BC BR's from OTR motorsports, $1299 brand new. DId a home install and everything seems fine.

Here's a slightly clearer picture

Loving the stiff ride...not loving the crappy roads in west sunshine.

And finally after reading reviews of Permanon on the forums I decided to try it out, very affordable and it seems to do what it claims.. now to see if it actually lasts for 6 months :)

This is a pic from last night, clay bar and Permanon-ed yesterday afternoon. iPhone camera doesn't really capture how much the car shines though!

And that's it for now guys Definitely no more spending for the next few months as rego + insurance is coming in :(
