What did you do with your DH Genesis today?

[Lord Humunculous]

The purpose of this thread is simply to give an outlet for mild to wild hey-look-what-I-did-with-my-car-today, literally. Did you get the trunk mat? Want to show before and after, but don't want to start a whole thread about it? Show us here. Did you just detail the engine bay and you just want to share? Do it here. Trying a new tire shine and think you found the best? Post a pic! This is not intended to chill or otherwise discourage individual threads, it's always up to you, the community, post away. Additionally, this is not intended as a replacement for build threads, those are very personal, specific, and essential. This is more of a check-in, quickie-showoff kind of thing. Hopefully this works, I have seen this exact thread be a wonderful place to browse on other sites I've been on or am still with, I think it will be terrific here. If not, stickies are not written in stone, so no worries.

So, this happened yesterday...

So I figured it was time for this today...

So I did this...

and this...

Compared some things...

Noticed that unlike my Volvo, this Mahle cup has little holes around the edge...

You can actually see where the Redline hasn't soaked in yet...

Easy clean up and only fiddy cents each...

Did it using these... (lighter for scale, standard kit length 3/8" and a "long" 1/2")

Threw some Showtime on the hood and she's quieter and happy!

I took it for a ride and got her new shoes!

 

[Lord Humunculous]

I really like this picture, which camera did you use for this?

 

[dareckibmw]

Thanks.

I'm a Nikon guy I took those with D810 and 24-70mm f/2.8 this is my favorite lenses, along with 70-200mm f/2.8

Nope, still on factory suspension. Hopefully, I'll drop it next week.

Nice new shoes dareckibmw, even with the Empire State Gray color

Touched up my plastidip, ripped a burnout out of temptation, kicked up rubber on the rear bumper of the car, now have to wipe all that sh*t off. Rather not post pictures, looks like I drove over a puddle.

 

[Lord Humunculous]

Finally got my plates, sticker and toll transducer today, but **** me, now I cant find the little bag of screws for the front plate mounting thing.... sigh....if it's not one thing...

Darek - you need to sell that shot of the guy with the air gun to Tire Rack. That's a really nice shot... they could use it in their promo material.

I tried, but they don't allow to post any "URL's" on their page. Oh well.....

Nope - but they do allow image comments on their main/corporate page.... when you connect from a computer and not a phone.

I didn't post it - I will leave it to you.

That's cool! I tried on their local shop in Romeoville and it didn't work. I'll post it on main page later today. Thanks

What did you do with the stock rims? Looking to dump them?

 

[srobak]

I'm going to guess he will use them for winter tires. That's what I will be doing as well.

 

[dareckibmw]

Yep, srobak is right, I'm keeping them for winter....all season are better than high performance summer in snow
