The Aircraft Stripper cleans the VC completely clean!!! All I sanded down was the little remaining paint on the corners... Leave the Aircraft Stripper on for like 20 mins., it'll get like the second pic of the Black VC... all flaky... just wipe off the paint, and that's it! May take 2-3 times to COMPLETELY strip it... but very easy...brookliner7 said:
After I got my 3 good coats, I left it overnight in the oven @ 200 degrees... The next morning, it was super dry!!!EluSive2K said:
Took some shots of the new Mugen Style Lip and CF Mirrors! I painted the lip myself, with Primer and Gloss Black paint, followed by Clear, and the mirrors look great with the newly painted headlights and lip! I like it, and will keep it this way for a while. I'm gonna be selling the ITR Valvetrain, Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, and Battery Voltage Gauges soon, so be on the lookout if you're interested. I'll probably ask for around $400.00 shipped for the Valvetrain, since I didn't install it and the previous owner only had it on for 8,000 miles. 1999 Spec, with Dual Valvesprings and Retainers... N E Way, here's the pics! Now I gotta be X-Tra slow on the bumps and curbs!!!
Thanks for looking...!

OMG dood,
I can't beleive you painted the lip yourself! It looks sSOOOOOOOOooooooo glossy! I like it!
Those volks are seeyick!
Simply clean, the mad drop makes the car! do you roll with it that low, or just for the pics?
Mine rubs with 17's, so i can't roll with a drop as crazy as you, but, still pretty low.
( see my sig!
)
I'd say if you got an OEM rear lip, it would be super sick, then call it a day for a few years!
ps, where's a good place to get the aircraft stripper?

I picked it up @ Schuck's... I think N E Auto Store will have it... Just be EXTREMELY carefull with it. It's supremely toxic, so try not to get it near pets, kids, or your skin... My fingers were burning because I had it on my hands... and the smell is pretty bad too! Just do it outside, on concrete, and with safety in mind!brookliner7 said:
Thanks for the comments... I want to get a rear lip, and paint that EBP... I' might get an OEM Lip and paint it EBP too,... for when the stockers go on during winter!!!

Hey... Thanks for all the replies...! I decided to try to install the cams this weekend... just the cams! The timing belt, too... just because... I will try to take as many pics as I can so I can post a How-To... I'll keep ya'll posted. I only used 2 light coats of Clear on the lights... just to seal the paint well... Really, guys...just take your time, and it's easy. I only put the bra on to drive the 50 miles to work through "Rock Chip Central"!!! At least the hood won't get dinged up... somewhat. I like the look... especially with the new Lip and Mirrors!TheVTECPush said:
