plastidipped my wheels black. Used a whole can on each wheel which was 8 coats each. I wish I'd done 7 coats because on the 8th coat the can started dying out and the weak spray ended up leaving some rough texture on the finish. Oh well, it seems easy to remove since there's a lot of thick coats.

both side engine mounts are back to oem, only have 27won's rmm. I do miss the solidness of both mounts but I appreciate the smoothness I have back. The 62a driver side mount by itself didn't change much in terms of noise but did increase low rpm vibrations a lot, and I don't feel like it improved the driving experience compared to oem.
hella horns are now white and are popping through the procivic mesh grille. No more bars on the intercooler. The IC mesh frame is back on so the clips aren't exposed. I cut dremeled and sanded the frame so it's smoothed out.
put some meguiars tire blackener on the sidewall so it doesn't look stupidly gray and washed out next to the black car and wheels.
on a more personal note I think I am done spending money on this car, it drives great and looks great and I don't think I have good reason to keep changing things. Ok that's a lie, I do want to swap the oem mufflers for a single magnaflow, and I'm eyeing the type R shifter and acuity rocker and some black shift knobs. Big ticket items like clutch/flywheel, lightweight wheels+good tires, turbo... maybe later down the road. Or if I get another huge bonus at work soon haha. Eman's type R retrofit clutch/flywheel is on the top of that list
