Well today is the perfect day to paint but the one screw left that's holding my bumper on is stripped plus all the hidden non sensible bolts holding shit in place. It's taking me an hour just to get it off.....the CL was never this hard

Yes Evan takes very good care of his s2k and it's clean everytime I see it.



That sucks Bryan. Good luck.

Quick question...

Has anyone thought about what it would look like to see some jewel eyes in the 3g TL headlights? Because I just did and i'm about to see what it would look like.

FUQ!! lol

I was gonna guess $1000 but DAYUM! I think it's fairly inevitable with all these TL modifiers someone will eventually man up and make it happen.

Well I finished the bumper and needless to say it wore me out. My legs feel like jello and my hands are sand paper but it looks good and now to just finish the rear when I get back from the beach and then paint the wheels. Does anyone know if rustoleum sells outrageous colors like turquoise, minty green, etc?

Nice work Bryan. I know what you're feeling haha. It's pretty much why only two of my wheels got painted the other week. The heat outside and the labor that goes into sanding and prepping just wears your ass out. I'm pretty sure they don't make a turquoise or I would have bought a can already.

Libretto's Pizzeria is opening a new location on Friday at Parktown Center. On Saturday, they're claiming the first 100 customers will earn free pizza for 1 year. I will be making an effort to be one of those customers. Anyone is welcome to join.

Tyler you're the man!

On another note... Does anyone have the issue when parking outside or under/beside/near a tree that these little balls of mud find their way onto the car? I don't know if its birds or tree droppings but its driving me insane!!

Be careful, I've heard some of the cheaper car covers can actually scratch your car

I think Lowes home inprovement has some in a rattle can in the Valspar or one of the other brands.. you could base coat with Rustoleum and use the Valspar then put a Rustoleum clear coat on top of it to seal it in there? and I know some of the valspar paint is for outdoors and others are for metals and some are for both

Well I've started on the wheels ill post in about an hour. They didn't have the minty green at lowes and tommy the valspar seems to be working pretty well, giving good coverage.
