Chrome it is, as was the original plan. You can barely see the Takeda hiding back there

Now, how do I deal with a butt hurt spouse because I didn't follow her modding advice

I'll take one for the team... blame it on me.



Anyway, guys, I started using this last year and bought a new bottle today. If you like whatever detailing polish you're using, I guarantee you'll like this better. It's damn expensive, but really good stuff.

And I'm trying out Mequiar's Hot Shine foam cleaner & tire black today... liking it better than Armor All's tire foam.

The chrome emblem sure does look great with the headlights, peeking out of the darkness!

Did someone say "emblembless grille"?

Yep. It will do that. Most people learn right away that you only use tire foam somewhere that overspay doesn't matter.

Here you go:

RIMBRIM? LAUNCHES NEW, CLEAR WHEEL PROTECTOR SERIES - RimBrim

I don't have one, because my garage and driveway are garbage. But it seems like a great idea.

Well the car had been sitting for three days under a tree so it's filthy, but I thought I'd share anyway. Last night I replaced a seized caliper, replaced the ugly center caps that came w/ these wheels, and got some new lugs. Also installed a sunroof visor which was for a G35/7 coupe. Had to modify the brackets but I'm happy with the results. Still lots more in store but it's a slow process for me. Pix

Shoot dfraide@gmail.com an email. Tell him Zahy sent you!

He's located in Texas, $250 for an all black one, or $350 for a 2-tone like mine. That price is shipped back to you.

I got my energy suspension grease in today for my polyurethane bushings..

laughed when i saw this. Totally dosen't look like a container of suspension grease. Hope this fixes the clunking though.

Got VIVID a companion today.

VIVID was lonely in the garage and asked for a boosted 6MT friend:




LOL

My daughter is ecstatic, however. Her first car... seems perfect for a junior...all the modern safety features.
