Anyone working on their TL this weekend?

I just got my baby last Saturday, so tomorrow will be my first time washing it up, really cleaning out the interior, etc. I need some new wiper blades, windshield visors (ugly, but necessary in Ok), and a few other small things, then helping my hubs check/change my oil.

So much maintenance to do before I can start modding.

I just got my car back from hail damage repair on Tuesday and gave it a nice bath on Wednesday, so no detailing this weekend.

But definitely need to measure my front rotors to see if they are warped cus I know for sure they must be, then get them either resurfaced or new ones under warranty.

In a month I am getting a full, day long detail done to it, thanks to Groupon

My car's been sitting in "detail stage" for a week or so.

Hope to get everything polished on the weekend.

Then apply wax some day next week.

Just finished replacing my motor mounts today all DIY with the supervision of my uncles since I am not a mechanic, and plan to get it the paint job buffed and polished, and possibly fix my side skirt since its not placed correctly.

Also tackle those pesky rattles once and for all.

Then right after, gonna install his new J-Pipe.

Then do a Redline ATF 2x3.

Then right after, do a Redline 5w30 oil change with a Royal Purple oil Filter since the MIDs at ~20%.

Then unplug battery for 5 mins and reset ecu.
