how about stick the camara on the trunk of another TL in front of your car with the camara facing you? or you need one of the hollywood set ups.

or stick the camara on another car and have the camara facing your car. just trying to throw some ideas out there for ya.

i've been playing with a water proof mini cam at the pool for stroke analysis. never seen myself swim before.

haha was there even any point to having your stockies on this winter? I'm right in the snow belt, but our winter's been so mild, I could've gotten away with running my spring/summer wheels the whole time. Oh well, it's nice to change it up every once in a while...

you live a bit a ways from me. ask my brother to come out a play. he lives closer to you. black TL and a red EVO...that would be fun. you need to have some open road to do it though.

I thought the same thing when I started looking into the HDGopro...I thought, I'd have it mounted to my fiancee's car and then drive next to it...but yeah, you need room to make sure you the car in the right angle.

Your summer rims are great, Aaron.

I was actually thinking of doing this in the next little while too...I guess I'll wait till I get my new tails (IF they are ever sent...) and then do the swap and lower the car all at the same time. This was the best winter I can remember!!! Like you though, I kinda wish I could have really tested the winter tires...oh well!!

the kitty was in there somewhere, probably sitting on the window sill. the goldie is living with my mother right now. oh trust me...brady gets PLENTY of attention. we hang out in the morning before i go to work, then i walk home on my lunch break and we hang out for an hour, then i get off work at 4 and we hang out the rest of the day. he is completely spoiled, but i can't help it...can't say no to that face.

Nice package, bud...
Where your white pads at for polish after cut?!?!

I've been using 105 for a while now...it cuts like no other (i'm sure that's not true)...and just recently bought 205 after my optimum polish turned to water consistency for the 2nd time.

yup, pc7424xp.

i don't have any white pads wanna send me one?

i was just going to use orange at high speed to take out swirls...and orange at low speed/low pressure with the 205.

then use black pads with blackfire wet diamond, and black pads for finishing wax coat.

Nice!

How much was the kit?

I bought the M205 and 1 orange, 1 white, and 1 black cutting pad.
It also came with the hand grip to stick the pads onto and some chemical stuff to clean the pads.

Havn't used it really...

No polishing machine =(
