Looks like I'll be among lowest miles then. Probably hit 15k miles next year after almost 4 years ownership. I believe my work is about 3 miles roundtrip. I do go back during breaks sometimes real quick. Need to cut those miles out!

yup thats true i honestly gave up caring about mpg since the vehicles i mainly like to drive are trucks so i just dont care anymore lmao im hopeful i can get my bike back up and going here soon ish so i can ride it again because man i miss it more then anything.....
I can average roughly 39.x miles round trip if I somewhat go easy on the throttle, but my last 2 trips Iā€™m getting low 30s, because, wellā€¦ itā€™s more fun šŸ˜‚

Well I already did emblem in black plasti dip which came out okay just one or two semi rough spots. Think I might have sprayed too close last coat or two. Trying above doors tomorrow morning prepping tonight. Yes I know can buy those strips but I have two cans so might as well try this method.

I might try to do tonight since I got a few brews and it's boring waiting 30 mins between sprays. Any tips? Saw one video they suggest a very light coat first spray. Going to wipe down chrome with rubbing alcohol and commence spraying I suppose.

I would cover the rest of the car with plastic to guard against overspray. Then, yeah, alcohol wipe the chrome so itā€™s fully clean, then light coats. GL!

ā˜šŸ¼This.

And I love the fact that Unity, which sells 27won's amazing BBK, doesn't shamelessly ad. Instead, they offer a realistic solution. šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘šŸ¼
Thank You brother! We've learned so much modifying all our cars, and friends & customers over the years - the best builds always start from the ground up with tires, wheels, brakes, suspension and going up till its all a well-balanced package šŸ˜Š

Speaking of tires might need to rotate mine. Although it probably won't help much. Factory all season tires are pretty shitty for Si. I don't want to replace them till at least 20k miles on them though.

You see that's my problem with it. I can do light coats for first and maybe second spray but then after few beers in I just go crazy with spray. I'm about to go see if it worked or screwed up right now. Hopefully least one side is good...

Edit-. Passenger side seems good but have two nicks on drivers side maybe when pulling tape off. One is by mirror and other at thick part near gas lid. I assume I can just leave rest on then spray some more in the nicks?
