rubberized tool coating, thats pretty crazy. but i cant see a rubberized tool coating looking glossy. so i guess that would work if you wanted a satin or flat finish. right?
Edit: Read up on it, and checked out the VW pages on a guy plasti-dipping his rims. Apparently it works awsome for chrome grills and stuff, and it peels right off (when you dont properly prep the surface underneath for adhesion) if you dont like it or decide to change it, but for rims it turns brownish in a month due to brake dust.
Straight from VW Forums on an orange GTI: "I had the plastidip on for 1 month exactly. They turned slightly bronze from brake dust, which I expected. I peeled it all off in an hour or so and they were back to normal."
They say for $20 its worth it. But for around 60-80 bucks (depending on color of basecoat) I can base and clear rims

I know this is off topic but just thought I would let you guys know that I am trying to sell a black high rise spoiler if you know any one that wants one let me know it is in great condition. I can get some pics up if need be. I prefer just to meet someone in the raleigh/cary area ro maybe wilmignton. I am asking about $120-115.

some pretty crazy news, been playing with my BOV lately b/c it doesnt run right Atmospheric and i get tired of recirculating it. so i hooked up my stock one as well as my greddy, and tightened my greddy so it doesnt open, just so i can hear the stock BOV, b/c for some reason its bypass sounds so weird that i dont remember if it ever sounded like this b4. its like PEEEEEEEWWWwwwwwwwwwwww. instead of PSHH.. PSHH.. like i remember. anyways, i also noticed today when i got on it in 3rd since i did this im spiking 25PSI. I was like HOLY CRAP! and thought i was gonna blow up my engine at first, but then got used to it. dont know if my greddy was leaking or not. But i got some videos for Prooofff

Anybody know a good place in Fayetteville, NC or somewhere near Fayetteville, NC to get a good paint job. I am thinking about a color change on my blue 06 cobalt ss/sc. It still looks nice, but I am getting bored with it.

I'm thinking I might just set this caliber on fire today! It might make an improvement!Hence why you have the 25psi spike then drops to 22 like normal.

Thanks man. I am thinking about black with some kind of graffiti work. I hardly trust any place with my car. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks again though.

Who is you? I'm thinking I might just set this caliber on fire today! It might make an improvement!
It's because your BOV was causing it to bleed off that excess air. Now you are on the BPV which has a bit of lag in it before it'll open the rest of the way.
Hence why you have the 25psi spike then drops to 22 like normal.
