@Myron - Ouch wtf is wrong with people these days. Thankfullly they didn't get the TL. That would be an absolute nightmare.
When do you want to do the sidemarkers? I'll be doing a detail this Saturday until around 6 and working Sunday until 4ish but I'll be free on Monday.
@Arthur - Yeah I have clear bra on the hood but the previous owner only put the 12" one. All the chips are on the upper part of the hood. The clear bra on the front bumper and hood are yellowed so when I detail I'm stripping it all off. With the condition of my bumper and hood, I might just let it be and get it re-painted or get new clear bra put on.
@GldCrzy - Damn those wheels look good! I want to see those mounted on your car.

What lugs did you get and from where? I am maybe looking for some cheap ones too, the ones i have on the car now are just generic chrome ones that are so small you can't even see them on the wheels. I was thinking maybe getting some colored ones to break the silver/black thing I have going on.

Myron, it's a good call that you parked your car inside the garage.
Vincent, I believe my brother told me 3Ms can be polished to restore its original colour. I'm not too sure if it's true tho, I'll google it. :P
GldCrzy, don't forget to post pictures when you mount them.

Monday works man. What car are you detailing? Take some pics of before and after. And if gldcrzy gets his zkw-r lenses tomorrow maybe we'll tackle those headlights on saturday or something. I couldn't get that fog out of my left headlight so I think I am gonna have to take the damn thing off and redo it.
Yeah if you're going to do it Saturday I can probably come after the detail if I'm still awake lol.
@Arthur - Thanks for the link. I might give that a shot on my side mirrors to see how it turns out
I'll be helping my buddy do his black GSR. Me and him will be trying to tackle most details when it comes to doing other people's cars. I'm holding off on my car since there are still a few things that need to come in. My buddy doesn't mind missing a few of the items so we'll proceed with his detail. Starting the day at 8AM and hopefully ending by 6PM. We'll be doing write-ups on all our details with plenty of 50/50 shots. It's good his car is black. Freshly detailed black paint looks amazing.

Nope his is the black gsr that had some bodywork done by those 780tuners guys. We won't be doing his on Saturday anymore. Instead, we'll be working on a 11' is350 my friend recently got.

There is a detail write up of converting non-brembo to brembo with a parts list and everything and there is a member of this forum that's also in Edmonton that did it. Hata_61 is his user name. He has a SSM 05 automatic TL. he takes it to the track too

I am excited, my car's turn is coming up for Vincent to do his thing. We just finished installing white/red LEDs into the side markers and they turned out great. Thanks to Sanjay's side markers. I keep saying I am not spending any more money on the car but I really want some tail lights now. Damn it.

When is it? I forget. I mayyyy attend.
How I spent my evening.
The scuff mark you see is just the light. The shade is off, but I dont care, its better than having a dented one lol. Plus I plan to repaint that whole side of the car this summer!
