Got some smaller Azine stickers... And lost the pinstripe.

And my new rain-guards will be in today so I'll throw those on too.

I didn't notice it until after I put it on.


I'll wait until later to spill what other mod I did.

Well I got the rain guards put on. They look so much better than the other set since those were faded.

Guess my Azine sticker teaser wasn't a big enough hint.

Actually, you edited mention of the pinstripe out of the post and it still showed up on the instant email notification of the thread update.

I kept waiting for what was next.

I did it in white text, hence the lol.

I also decided to paint my engine covers while I was outside all day today too. They should be dry any time now so I'll snap a pic of those too.

Thanks guys.

I had those Brembo covers but they got messed up when I got my fenders rolled so I'm going to order a new set some time and match them to the front brakes like they were before.

I'll grab a couple of pictures tomorrow with our other camera. I would have today but I was tired as hell after being outside all day between taking off the pinstripe, putting on those rain guards, and painting the engine covers.

Ross your car looks amazing. I hate that mine is all stock. We will definitely have to take pics of our cars when I get home next month.

Thanks everybody for the compliments.

Just hit me up when you get back Donnie. I gotta couple of things on my list that I'll need a second set of hands to get done.

Here are some pics from after I washed her. Not happy with the pics but hey, I was using my iPotato.

Here are the painted engine covers. I think the color is Torque N' Teal. And don't mention the missing front cover, I lost the clips for it when I was taking off my bumper one time.

Nice job on the engine covers, Ross.


I like the blue-just carry that color somewhere else on the car to tie it all together.

Yup
Why I love this paint is because of the metalic look

That blue looks sick Meko. I think I'm going to redo mine now.

I decided to refinish my headlights today. The lights weren't that bad, but you can see the slight hazing on the driver side headlight in the first pic. I wetsanded them with 1000, 1500, 2000, and then 3000 grit sandpaper followed by Meguiars PlastX polish, and lastly Meguiars PlastX protectant. I may get a clear bra on the headlights tomorrow just to keep them looking good.

You can see the haziness in this pic:



And the finished here's the finished product; they look brand new.

I did but took it off. It was matte and didn't really match since the headlights were glossy.
