I only used one can of the duplicolor metalcast... I even did 3 coats of spray. Even had left over to do my rivet bolts on my wheels with 3 coats. So one can is good... I also bought the ground coat because after cleaning the calipers they werent too bright, the ground coat gives you a layer that'll make the metalcast look more anodized.

Yeah I've been thinking about doing some head work to the engine to flow more air. I'll talk to my friends dad who owns a machine shop

Use the Duplicolor metalcast ground coat. It should be right next to the other metalcast sprays. All it is, is a like a primer before paint, but it puts on a shiny metallatic primer so when you put the metalcast on its really looks anodized. heres what the can looks like

very good product! I'd recommended getting some clear coat and giving it a couple of coats so the paint wont chip.

Ok, decided to sell my Tein Basics and get H&R coilovers, I want to go lower in the front and my teins are maxed out. So my Teins are FOR SALE! They were rebuilt about 4 months ago so the internals are practically brand new.

Also here's a few pics with my new center caps. they add a little pop I think

How much lower CAN you go? And BTW, the center caps look great! I know your car isn't an AMG, but the wheels are!

I can go lower teins only drop the front 1.4 and the rears 1.5... where as the H&R drop front 2.2" and the rears 2" So I can drop the front just a little more to get the stance I want, plus I can slam it down when I go to shows

I'm actually probably lower than you lol... I can't fit a coke can laying on its side under my lip. But I'm about to go lower once someone buys my teins, if no one buys it ill just do some custom work to get the front lower.

I'm guessing that this car isn't your every day driver... or that roads in Ft. Worth are better than they are in Dallas.
