Today I replaced my timing belt, spark plugs, water pump, and put new transmission fluid and coolants in my 05 wrx.

Also reinforced my 3" catback exhaust by replacing rubber hangers with kart boy links and washed and waxed my baby .

Sounds like a busy day.

I clocked out early (waiting on parts/slow service writers) and polished my oxidized roof, waxed the CF spoiler, cleaned the interior, changed to STI floor mats, cleaned a few things up in the trunk area, and cleaned the whole car. I love clean and tidy cars.

Rediculously busy morning yesterday! but excited to have my car tidy and clean engine wise and exterior and interior :-D.

Also in the pipeline are some new yellowspeed coilovers on order, a 22mm whiteline sway bar and F&R strut braces! Looking Foward to a dramatic change in handling :-)

3 cans of plasti dip. It was hard to find some so I bought the whole stock that a local Home Depot had, I have 10 cans left over... Lol.

It took about 2 hours total from prep to finish. Looks amazing and very happy with the results.

Cost for 3 cans would be ruffly $20-25

Do it! Best part is if you don't like it, you can peel it off and start all over
