Who all is working on their car this weekend? I am!

I will at least be putting in the new backup camera and swapping out the Cold Cathode license plate lights for LED ones. Maybe some other things too.

I ordered some more dip (surprise!). I got 5 spray cans of the new anthracite color. I'm going to do that on my wheels next instead of black. I'm not sure if I'll put any blue highlights on the anthracite. Unfortunately the dip gets here on Tuesday.

@awz05TL, I might be interested in the J-pipe.

You're always dippin!

I'm thinking about doing some dipping and/or painting myself. I've got some wire mesh (instead of the stock plastic) in the front lower grill that needs repainting. I was thinking about doing it a gunmetal/grey color to match the lower lip on the aspec kit. I need to redo my trim pieces and A's too.

I also need to put in my back seats. Still have them out to adjust dampening, but I think I found a setting I like.

If I'm feeling productive, I might tackle my sidemarkers. I have the switchbacks from USR sitting in my garage for the past 6 months.

I have put off some projects for yet another week due to laziness, woo! Just a few small projects, but it's something!

I plan to dip my front grille in black and leave the A chrome, I feel like I like that look. If I do I can put my Euro R grill back on the market and make some $$$ back.

I also have some exhaust tips from an S2k to replace my stock ones, but my stock tips are rusted on and i stripped one of the bolts holding them on

I also have a rear roof lip I need to put on, and take my 6-disc apart to fix a (hopefully) jammed disc.

And next weekend hopefully Anil doesn't ditch me!...Okay this post made my weekend feel very unproductive car-wise

I have to admit I did have a hard time taking a pic that would show how bad the dirt really is.

Hey all, back from family vacation in Pittsburgh, NY, Chicago. Still pissed I missed the national meet. I'm looking forward to hearing what happened and who was there...

Anil, what's up? What is this about a "baby Swoosh?!"

I'm going to try to get to Fast Friday this week, if some of you guys are planning to get out there. Hope to connect up soon.

Glad you are back, hopefully we can all meet up and park together. As it gets closer we'll try to plan out something.

I'm still trying to like the chrome wheels. It's growing on me, but the gun-metal ones is what I prefer.
