Thanks man, should be on by mid next week! Will update by then!

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but my emblem faded from the sun. Here's a temporary fix until I have the gut to fork out 30 bucks for a S badge

In the meantime, made a radar detector mirror mount using a bike reflector. (Wil trim and paint bolt when my hardwire kit arrives) Radar shown is Cobra ESD-9210




Radar unintentionally matches interior design scheme a little bit!



How it looks all together from the outside...does it look stealth enough?

I like all the minor things you're doing to the car gfan! It's the little things that make a big difference imo. Really like how you took it upon yourself to fab your own tow hook plate frame! Are you joining us for the meet next Sunday man??

Thanks man, and yeah the plate in time and effort cost me as much as buying one from Amazon but I like how its custom made and doesnt stick out as much! Its holding up really really well over the last ~2.5 weeks! Hopefully Ill have some performance mods soon!

Just got hold of some gloss black vinyl 5 ft by 5ft on Amazon, (un heard of brand) for 8 bucks, lets see how well this roof turns out!

And I will try my best! Not sure about weekend plans yet haha Thanks for the invite man!

Safest bet is to use plastic caps.

Metal ones can cause issues, since valve stems are metal with TPMS. Plenty of cases where cap binds to stem, necessitating TPMS replacement ($$$).

Antiseize, a little dab will do you.
