So this weekend I did a full exterior detail. I washed, clay bar where needed, wet sanded where needed, hit it with some medium compound then put down some NXT, let it cure for a hour Buffed it off then layered Mirror Glaze26 over it
also worked on the hard deck a little. Waiting on the chrome trim to come in so I can finish the edge
Couple shots while out this morning
THEN I had to do an oil change this morning and I have a REALLY REALLY bad habit of when I have the car apart I NEED to change something. Sooooooooo while I had the bumper of I swapped back over to the OEM front lip, and put the zenki heads back in LOL
Oh I also reinstalled the middle south shore grill now that I figured out the right way to install it!
Last but not least I an HOPING!!!!!!!!! to have some new wheels in the next week or so and at that point the skirt will come off also.
AND! I have some switch backs coming for the turn signals, some new decals and some LED DRLs for the cut outs in the scudetto.
So my spoiler finally showed up today after it getting lost for a few weeks and sitting in customs another week.
A quick test fit. I also started prep work on it today. Laid down the etching primer, then a filler primer. Found some pin holes in the seams so tomorrow ill hit it with some filler give it a quick sand and start painting it!
Another slow project ive been working on is painting my SSR's. The factory paint was flaking bad on two of the wheels and I plan on having them sent out in the winter to be re finished. So I figured why the heck not, and just doing a quick DIY for the summer season. Got 2 wheels done so far. Im not taking the faces off, but I did mask off all the wheel bolts.
So many jdm parts, I love how meticulous you are about your car. I'm so tired of seeing xb's sitting on crappy rep wheels with the whole AutoZone catalog of ricer parts thrown on and a hellaflush and/or illest sticker slapped somewhere on the car sideways. Great job.
theres a select few that go threw the trouble of tracking down and importing rare parts from japan.
