  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Well, almost done everything I want to do to this car, which honestly, is not a ton compared to stuff I have done in the past, but good enuf for me. Snapped this quick pic coming out of the grocery store yesterday. Car is dusty but the red hides it from this angle. Caught it just in time because about 5 seconds later, guy in a Venza parked right next me. Free spots all over the freggin place, but no, park right next to the one other car in that entire row. Drives me nuts. Anyway, I'll get more pics in a few weeks.

So far:
  • DIY full paint prep, then 9 yr ceramic coat
  • Tinted fronts with ceramic 35% (contrast with back looks more than it is...I had the shades up on the back windows for some reason)
  • Hyperdipped hood emblem satin black
  • Debadged rear and replaced with emblem I wrapped in satin black vinyl
  • Tuxmats/Phantom mats
  • Tinted taillights with light smoke
  • Smoke licence plate covers front and back
  • Metal emblems on front seats
  • Dual dash cam (front and rear)
  • 21 x 9 wheels, 265/40/21 tires (went wider to get a bit more sidewall height for ride comfort and to fill the wheel well a bit more)
Last couple of things to do, probably in June sometime, then I am done with any mods:
  • paint the stainless part of the muffler tips gloss black
  • install black window screen in front of the rad to reduce risk of rock or other debris damaging rad.
