As discussed last Friday night. It's called hydrodipping.
They dip your wheels or whatever you want, into a solution with an appliqué laid on top of the liquid, and as they dip it, it adheres onto your product in 3D.

I don't think the wheels look that great, but nevertheless a very cool process.

Slick - you do know that fuel is volume corrected to 15 degrees, so you didn't necessarily purchase over 50 liters... its just how the gas pump works.

Slick · 11-01-2013, 03:14 PM

Yeah, I knew about the correction factor. It's still about 3-4 litres more than I ever previously put in when empty. Thought I was gonna be pushing it down the 401...

I'm going to M&M tonight around 8:30 or so unless it is raining

It ain't winter yet!!!

New to this thread, so sorry for the newb question, but what/where is M&M?

On a somber note, just picked my FRS up after it's first service where I also had the winters put on. Winter is coming. :-(

Holy crap lol
Living on the edge

Could that little extra be because you were really running on fumes, and you filled up almost to the cap?

That's weird, I usually get around 600 km on the highway. Maybe its the winter gas that they switched to.
