Or did you scrub it down at all?
I needa reclear my rims as well... =/

Rims looking really nice. What kind of paint did you use? I have a set of fat five gsr rims that are in pretty rough condition (all the road salt probably isn't helping since these are my winter rims )

hint of advice , its good to paint with any kind of paint u want, what i used is the home depot krylon paint with the chrome cap, thinking its chrome but it was silver, but to protect the paint i used auto zone
rustolium clear coat and holy **** is that stuff sturdy and strong

Looks good, that interior all taken apart is an eye opener. Are you going to treat the carpets at all or anything?

Re: Brobo's Em2 Build!

Damn ... how come almost all you guys have EM1 rims? I also want EM1 rims, they look so clean but it's to bad it's almost impossible to get them in my country

Anyway, respect for what you have been doing man I also like the red color of your EM2, you should has painted your rims white, that would have been an awesome combination

Also got a question for you: so ... you own a 2001-2003 EM2 ... that centerconsole of yours with that armrest ... was it stock in your car or did you get it from a 2004-2005 EM2 and made it to fit your car?
