Added a sticker to the Spoiler Tramp Stamp area, I was going to install a window regulator I got from a junk yard, but had company all day and was tired from a drive to Indiana.

Lookin' Good !! If you want to "black out" the hose clamps holding the air filters, I used this:

I also wrapped that center support brace with it . . .

Changed the oil, emptied the oil catch can, changed the supercharger oil, replaced the fog light housing on both sides, replaced the passenger side headlight HID ballast, fixed the fog light cap thingy (again x 4), added some Tail of the Dragon graphics and gave her a wash. A lot of things built up over time so glad to get it all done.

Polished my headlights. Bought the McGuires headlight restoration kit. Wool pad works well, but needed to use the sanding disks to get them clean.

Looks nicer.

Excellent idea, thanks! I was actually contemplating painting the center brace flat black this past weekend. I was briefly searching online to see if I could purchase anodized black hose clamps that size. The horse tape should do the trick!

Less is more my friend! I think the less "busy" a car's rear end is, the sleeker/more refined it looks.

Hmm, never thought about doing that but I agree it would look better. I might look into removing it later today.

You sure you de-badged everything?

Took a ride in the country. I blacked the side markers out with plasti-dip. Also dipped both of the badges, front and back. Then I washed her. Hope everyone has a blessed day

I finished dipping the door handles after I got news of starting my new job tomorrow! I'm excited for the raise in pay and my car will be enjoying it too in the near future. Here she is showing off her newly done front emblem, side markers, and door handles.. along with the daily in the background. All we're missing is the windshield surround now. That should be done soon. I have had a great day and hope everyone else has too!!

Why did you decide that?

Ordered some NeedsWings intake manifold gaskets today. I'm removing the intake manifolds this week to be painted + have some bungs mounted for my boost gauge. It'll need new gaskets upon removing the manifolds so I figured I might as well upgrade them to NeedsWings units. Same ones they include with their tweaked manifolds.

Unrelated, but I wish Samco Sport made a coolant hose kit for our cars.

The company Vertical Doors have done hundreds of cars but mine is a mess passenger side the door does not fit right when you close it hits door lam the window is not align right as it doesn't fit in the rubber channel if it rains it will get in I wont even open the passenger door as it will flake paint off the door and door jam. the driverside the fender is out of alignment the fender stiks out the lower panel is out of place, I find it hard that with all of the hundreds they have done no one even looked at it, they offered to fix it but 2 weeks out so I cnt use the passenger door. A lot of money wasted.

Put a power window regulator on the passenger side, not too hard but time consuming. The hardest part is the top right nut as you're looking at the door, a socket end wrench doesn't move very far when it's on the nut. The good thing is you only have to loosen it, the bracket it's in is a slot instead of a hole. Pics showing the bolt and wrench, and about where it's located, it's actually a little higher than I show in last pic. It would be nice to have a hole through the rectangular flat spot.

After work today I installed an Ebay billet grille, looks pretty good, not hard to install. Can't decide if I want to put the bottom ones on, but probably will since one original is missing.

I haven't decided one way or another on those, they look good, but I like the factory grill a lot. I have considered doing something with the lower grills though.

After I had the Flowmaster super 44 muffler installed I was getting a bit of a drone so I bought some Velostar foam high density so I installed 1 sheet of the 1/2 inch and another sheet of 1/4 inch very high density under the pad in the trunk made a BIG difference.
