New here. E21.

[Kershaw]

I thought that was just pine needles all over the car, but is that rust?

[mk3f.t.w.]

I wet sanded some of the surface rust off the trunks paint, then buffed and waxed the entire car to keep the rust at bay. Unfortunately I have to wet sand a lot more to get rust off

Yup. A lot of surface rust. The paint is cracked and I live near the ocean. When the salty moisture hits a crack it puts a little rust mark on top of the crack. It cleans up well, but I just have to really stay on top of waxing to keep it clean

Thanks for all the input guys. Today i refinished some trim pieces. I used auto magic black vinyl coat. You apply it with a rag, and It covers the plastic or rubber with a new thin coat of rubber.

I cleaned up one tail light. It's no longer pink. Need to do the other still. Also the trunk is no longer rusty. Unfortunately the alpine Weiss 146 I ordered is much brighter than my old rust tinted alpine white. It still needs a wet sand and buff.

I tucked my front bumper today. I just drilled out the shocks. I really want to tuck it a bit more with some cutting and welding the mounts and cutting the bumper to slim it down.



mocking up my kamei side skirts and hermans spoiler. The front kit is just for fun. I may paint it to see how it looks, or maybe not. I was thinking of cutting off the top "bumper" section and using it with just my iS front spoiler or my bbs front spoiler. Not sure. Or I may just tuck the stock bumper more





what I was thinking if I trimmed the bronze bumper and just used the upper portion for a clean slim bumper look

.smooth painting on the tail light, i like the dark red.. i plan on doing that this school break too. this thread makes me want a e21, but yet again .. i want everything
