    Lookin' good! :Thumbsup:

    I just resprayed the white plasti-dip on my wheels last weekend. Our BRG/W's could almost be twins now!

    What shoes are you running now?

    When you resprayed yours did you peel everything off or just do another coat or 2 on top of existing layers? I plan on doing headlight trim and front grill here soon to complete my "white out" experiment.

    As far as the wheels go, they are the ASA JH6 17" with Kumho Ecsta 4X tires.

    I peeled everything off, gave the underlying alloy a good cleaning, then resprayed. The first application of PD went on last Sept. during high-humidity; coupled with a rookie mistake or two and I had some flaws and air bubbles.

    Last year I did four coats on each wheel. This year I did four on the back + eight on the front, and then applied an enamel clear coat to (hopefully) seal & protect the PD.

    Post some pics when you get the white-out done, I'm eager to see the results! :ihih:

    Got my rear seat delete kit carpeted and replaced the backs of my seats that were nicked up from the previous owner.

    Just installed the no holes front plate mount. And survived the crazy floodings here in Chicago. The waters were so high, there were a few close calls. I thought for sure the mini would be submerged.

    Had my friend over with her R53 and the power steering pump running all the time, even with key off. Needless to say the new pump and fan are ordered and ill swap it out tomorrow....
