Taffy got her nose(grill bar) painted with Plasti-Dip

 

I'm not drooling or anything.

 

. Don't step on your tongue. Enjoy.

 

Re-covered my front door panels as they had faded on the tops after 4 years. The seller replaced the material for free. Took me a couple hrs.

 

Six years ago on the 4th I bought her and took possession on the 7th. Only routine maintenance required. Still enjoy driving her.

 

looks good.. better without the deflector.. much cleaner

how many kms on the car now?

 

Around 56,000kms. The combo of painting the $$$$grille, deflector removal and painting lower section black has made quite a difference in the look. Time to clean up the corners of the lip. Still not bad enough for a repaint. I will just sand a bit and give it a shot of primer and taffy white.

....Cool.....

 

I will catch up to your Kms soon and mines just over a year old hahaha

I'm going to paint my center as well but go up to the license plate..

 

Will be interested in your paint job. I have a few small chips in mine and the white shows through. Hardly noticeable .

 

What's your tire setup? 16" rims with what tires? Looking for a similar wheel gap.. Thanks

 

205x50x16 . Wheels are a 40 offset. The fronts rub occasionally but not so much I would change. Too bad the nice wheels are a 40 whereas a 42 or higher would clear.

 

awesome thanks!.. now to scope out kijiji for some deals

 

Took me awhile like a few years but found my wheels on Kijji for $100 and 1 summer season used tires for $400.

 

First brake job today. Honda parts. $300 FOR ROTORS AND PADS plus tax. Labour only $68 at Haffner Motors( my Dodge dealer). My mileage is 65,000 kms.

 

Your car looks great Mr Wild Bill.. Old age has me slowed to a crawl with a huge pile of expensive parts I need to install and a few other things I still need to purchase.. It should be scary fast when it is completed... My wife decided to trade in her low mileage 2009 Forester for a new 2015 Outback.. I bought a 07 VW Passat Wagon that was totaled out a few months later by a hit and run driver and replaced with an 05 Audi A-6.. It should keep me going for awhile longer.. Both of us are sold on CVTs and AWD now... I'd forgotten what wonderful cars the Germans build.. Keep on keeping on Wild Bill..

 

I was thinking about you the other day. Glad you are still with us. Well at my advanced age CVTs/Autos are the way to go. I do not need 4WD. I stay home if the snow is that deep. Yes I am still hanging on to my 09. Getting too old to start over on a GK. Besides I still enjoy my GE. Take care.

 

New LEDs in grill and painted the faded tow hooks

 

My finish was going chalky/dull so had it professionally done this past week. Showroom shine again.

 

Blacked out lower look nice.
