Yeah, it's next of the list. Looking at springs, not coilovers. I like the stock ride but not the ride height. Looking at a few other appearance mods like a trunk lip spoiler. The car is just about perfect just the way it is.....

Just ordered some 5.50" Lake Country Pads Orange, White and Black just to do a minor paint correction. Nothing too crazy but just wanted to clay bar and polish her up. Getting the car ready for the WoodWard Dream Cruise in Michigan

Hello everyone!.

Not today but over the last weekend, I was finally able to have the new shoes put on.

Hopefully this week, I will have time to install exhaust and M-sport front bumper. Still waiting for sport springs to arrive.

Must be the pic. Exhaust is actually less than a quarter inch from the diffuser. I was thinking that they actually stick out a bit far but will be changing diffuser to a CF one before adjusting length.

depending on which diffuser you get you may have to pull them out farther? any idea which diffuser you may go with?

Still checking out the different flavors of rear diffusers but probably something close to this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/V-Type-Carb...r/252266169756

BTW liking your build thread buddy, nice work!

Looks great man. Will look even better once the M-Sport is on. Kinda makes me wish I got Alpine White. But my last ride was white so I wanted to change it up a little

getting the car ready for this Saturday's Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, Michigan
spent the day doing a clay bar on her. before the clay bar you can easily feel all the contaminants and what not on the paint. after a few passes the paint just feels nice and smooth like butter! here's my detail cart





Than started to do a polish with a 5.5" Lake Country white pad and Chemical Guy's V36 Optical Grade cutting polish. Here you can see the reflection off the driver's side door. Pictures probably would have been better if I used a real camera and not my damn Samsung Note 3 lol!



Tomorrow i'll continue the final polish using Chemical Guy's V38 Optical Final polish to get that ultimate mirror shine!

day 2! did the final polish using CG's V38 Optical Final Polish. for those who don't know it actually takes days to do a polish job...not something that will be done in one afternoon. you're using multiple polishes, different color pads and what not but if you love working on your car this is by far one of the most enjoyable experiences as you're putting all your love and effort into you're car and the payoff is just incredible!


pretty much after that I hit the car with CG's BlackLight which is basically a glaze that helps fill in any light scratches and swirls that didn't get removed. which I followed with CG's JetSeal to seal the paint up. here it is curing for 20 minutes before I go back and buff off the residue.


to save time while the JetSeal was curing I was working on the leather seats using CG's Leather Cleaner and Conditioner using CG's Horse Hair Brush.


than after buffing off the JetSeal I went ahead and cleaned up my AGL21's and sealing them up with Dr Beasley's Matte Wheel Sealant.


that's pretty much it for today. i'll do I final Carnuba wax in the morning with CG's ButterWet Wax before driving up mid morning.

geebus! I wish I have that kinda patience. All I can do is hoping to find some really legit detail place while being envy of other people's shiny car.

Anyways, the car pulls so hard now. It get up to speed really quick, and obviously sounds meaner too.
