Gave the car a bath and took some quick pictures. As soon as I finished washing it, the sky went from nice and sunny to cloudy.

I didn't take any pics of the rear because the PCDs made my exhaust tips black and I ran out of BKF to clean them.

Something MAY be coming off of the car in the next few days.

Here's how the wheels sit in the rear:


And the front:

LMAO, I'm going easy on the little feller this week...he's been kinda wound tight and wouldn't want any neighborhood kittens to feel his wrath.

I am VERY anti pinstripe, pull back a LITTLE bit (don't demolish it) and see if you can see a line, if not, rip away!

Still haven't taken it off. I got all hyped up to take it off yesterday but when I walked outside I started kind of liking it again.

I did take something else off the car though.

I hope your pinstripe starts cracking and dry rotting.

Fender protections strip? I don't know your car well enough to know what you might have taken off.

The one below the front...it helps cut through the air on the highway.

Read through the thread.

Took the Plastidip off the emblems and also removed my rain guards since they're really faded. I'll order new ones from Ack at the end of the week.

Not a fan of debadging. I like what Austin did with his though, painting Acura and TL black to match the car and leaving the A chrome. Too bad I can't do that with mine.



I wouldn't mind investing in a nice camera, but would rather put that money into a mod.

Meh.

If you're keeping the red in the tails, keep it on the badge.

I think I'll get it. It's only $9 on eBay so even if it doesn't look good or I ever get tired of it I haven't lost anything.
