That looks nice… how does the quality and durability of the Hyperdip feel? I’m still deciding between Hyperdip flat or hydrodip with a cool design.

The finish is way nicer than regular plastidip but it comes with the same headaches to be honest. It’s a solid way to test a new finish for about 6 months to see if you want black, bronze, or white wheels. Outside of that, it seems just as temporary as regular plastidip, like it’s gonna get ruined the first time I rotate my tires. Having a temporary look at a semi-gloss black wheel on the Fiesta is cool though. I’ll probably get them a proper, permanent paint job next time they come off.
I’ve been looking for a non-ST guy to do this. I want to paint my calipers and drums black, plus get spacers. Trying to go for that murdered-out look for real.

Is that a side exit exhaust? Looks awesome.

I was running a straight pipe for a while, but the exhaust gases damaged the heat shielding around the gas tank. It was honestly easier to just run it out the side than to weld back on the stock exhaust pipe. So, truthfully, the side-exit exhaust is a result of laziness lol.

Install coilovers and get the ST side skirts, the car will look complete.

Good call. I’m saving up for the Bilstein B14 coilovers kit right now. I can only afford about $50-100 a month for parts, so that’s definitely a 2025 project.
@Amari
Do you really need Bilstein? Are you planning to engine swap it? You can find some cheaper ones. I got my Stance+ for about £300.

I like the NA engine since it’s cheap and easy to maintain. For parts like brakes and suspension, I prefer legit, name-brand stuff that performs well and lasts a long time instead of just looking good.

Interesting… with the price of Bilstein coilovers here in the UK, I could get another Fiesta.

It’s about $800 to replace my whole suspension with Bilstein parts here in the U.S. (not including shipping which is probably $100-200), so I’m looking at around $1,000 for the entire job.

That’s wild. You must really love your Fiesta. I’ve fixed a crashed Fiesta for that price.

That’s a solid investment, can’t blame you for that.
