slickooz's 2G TSX
Bought the car new in September 2010, it's 2010 Grigio 5 speed automatic non tech.

Stuff I've done to my car. (not in order)
1. removed badges on the back.
2. replaced interior and license lights to LEDs
3. got oem all season matts
4. trunk tray
5. oem window visors
6. plasti dipped grill
7. tints 35% rear, 50% fronts
8. installed mud guards

Did a waterless wash today and spray waxed it. Wanted to share some photos while its still clean.

Thanks! I wouldn't have gotten them if they weren't free. But I'm starting to like how they look.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...9#ht_798wt_982

There are couple brand that makes waterless and rinse less wash. These method are great during winter, because you don't need to use the hose. Can be done inside your garage fast and easy.

I ilke waterless wash because its a lot faster then 2 bucket method. It's just spray and wipe, no need dry the car. It's great for cleaning wheels too.

Here a link with more info and products on waterless and rinse less wash.

my friend recommended me "the spoiler comany" on ebay as well since that's where he got his for his maxima. but it doesnt seem like he knows TOO much about cars so idk lol

and i also have a waterless spray bottle as well. got it for free, turned out to be quite useful. i like to keep my car clean all the time, and sometimes the car is clean, just dusty. i'll just give it a quick wipe with the waterless spray. or in between rain or something

The plasti dip is very durable, no chipping problem. There has been problems where I seen when removing plasti dip, it pulled the paint from the smiley portion of the grill.

Not hating IMO you should redo the Plastidip. I see spray patterns where some areas are smoother than others. Should glaze it on from the same distance each time to avoid splotching.
