My APR wing on top of David's (dilly) gt wing. Can anyone say downforce?



Got that Ruah Welt Look huh? hahah

Oh damn, didn't think it would look better, but I was wrong

[scweet14]

damn, that polish is on point!

looks really clean with the whole color scheme!

[Vincent123]

damn, the finish looks factory!
definitely looks better than the dark brown/bronze colour imo

I actually like the bronze finish when its clean, but when its covered in brake dust it looks nasty. This is much better though, plus I never have to use metal polish to keep it shiny

All done

love the polish

So I was talking to a friend and he has the same wheels as me but his is polished. Asked him how he did it, and he said all he did was strip the original finish and underneath it is this polish plated finish which is shiny as hell and doesnt need any metal polish or upkeep. Decided to do it today

Used Rustoleum aircraft stripper, 1.5" brush, and painters tape.



Original bronze finish




In process




After the first coat, hosed down most of the excess paint and this is what I'm left with. Still needs another coat or two to get it all off





All done

Installed the trim lok, hood closes perfectly

So I want to put some heat reflective adhesive material on my intake box. But after going through some pics on google, it seems some people are putting it on the outside and some are putting it on the inside of the box. Im not sure which way would be better. Any input?


Oh also, my trimlok came in. Gonna install it tonight with the heat reflective material

Quick q, why do most Miata intakes go on the hotside? doesn't it make more sense to avoid the hot exhaust manifold?

They do make a coldside intake for NB miata's. But the only company that I know of that makes it is super expensive. All the other DIY coldside intakes look ghetto

keep it up

Good that you used steel, because aluminium mounted on your steel chassis would have caused contact corrosion. Not a nice thing, bro.

Nice concept man. I saw this on instagram earlier today

[Vincent123]

I heard paint doesn't stick well to stainless steel. Any tricks you used?

Not really, I just sprayed it on. Only time will tell I guess
