Hehe, the only thing I like about winter is that I can have a second set of wheels:ninja:

I do hope they stay in shape with the winter time. Often these are anodized and that don't like salt etc... don't know what they spray in your area but here its almost poison. Still like they idea though LOL

^That's a plan. Also curious how they will hold up through the winter season. Just a regular salt here as far as I know.

UPDATE!

Installed the SPRTFX rear license plate LED's. Very happy with outcome.It was hard to capture the light output, but these LED/s are very bright.


Before


Left SPRTFX LED's, right regular LED's


Left and right SPRTFX LED's





Also installed the 7W Q5 Cree Backup LED's. Very bright, highly recommend, and they only around $5 shipped for a pair.

Was bored one day and wrapped the cup-holder in 3M brushed aluminum. Came out nice IMO.






Prepared the car for winter

Put the mudflaps back





Fixed my rusty spring buckets

Before:


Sanded


all the rust that came off from my spring buckets


pressure washed



applied the POR-15 rust preventive paint




this rusty piece of metal fell off from the bumper support


fixed it and painted over with POR-15 also


painted the rolled rear fenders with POR-15 also



Sprayed the ACF-50 anti-corrosion lubricant on my coilovers

...and installed the new winter wheels, got a REALLY good deal on them. These are Falken(FK Wheels) RT-7M wheels, 8.5 wide with +35 offset. I kept the 19mm adapters on. Tires are Bridgestone Blizzak 265/50/20.

Washed the summer setup. Going to change them a little bit for the next season.


Quick photo-shoot just outside of town.

Wow gorgeous! I love those Falken wheels! Had them on the wife's 2010 FX35. What a great stance they offer. Your car looks amazing!

Thanks. I wish there were winter tires available for 22" wheels. Mine are only 20".

Ordered. $4.98 with shipping is insane.

 

[Ed@TunerStore]

Yep, pretty good value:ninja:

 

[pmanliu]

Nice work Z! The new wheels look amazing, as does that 3m brushed aluminium wrap. Thinking about replacing my CF interior with that instead... :smile (2):

Thanks Ray!

 

[Viperi]

nice! any chance you can get some shots of how bright it is in the dark?

 

[Ed@TunerStore]

You mean the Cree lights? I don't have any pictures at the moment. They are really bright, HID's are brighter, but for sure better than any SMD LED bulbs out there

 

[Viperi]

yea. i cant see anything out of the back of the fx . was wondering where the light spot was on these crees. point to the ground or in the air?

 

[la_fx35]

Wow Zee, those wheels are too nice for winter beating. Winter ride in style. :good:

 

[RIPnFX]

Nice wheels bro, looks dope

 

[Fire0nic3FX]

Zebra one question why did you get rid of the HID backup lights?
