I always use the towels I bought off of Ammo NYC. They've held up really well for the last 2 years.

Installed these today...pretty happy with the final products.

The color matched Beatrush gold is a bit richer than the true Beatrush gold. I can live with it though.

Made a minor adjustment to the AC Condenser/Pulley cover after taking these pics... probably not noticeable in these pics anyway.

Have you considered an oil filter cover?

Well the show season has come and gone. and my build finished strong. My build was named Scion of the Festival yesterday at Wekfest Houston! This was the second year in a row taking that honor. I'm always excited to do well at Wekfest because I consider it as the premier car show.

Anyway, many changes to come... part of my aero arrives this week so I am excited to begin that install. I have my fenders and skirts, spoiler, and lip spoiler ordered... I'm still looking for the right deal for my rear aero. I need to work on figuring out what offsets and widths I will run before ordering or purchasing second hand my wheels.

I'm doing all my own body work so I'll be learning a new skill this year... I'm also very excited about that.

stay tuned...

I'm going to be taking off my Uras aero kit over the next week... I want to sell the kit as a whole (front lip spoiler, sides skirts, rear under spoilers, trunk spoiler). I will post the necessary info about the sale when everything is off... so let's just call this a feeler. I'm going to do my best to remove the kit without damaging the paint... however, I'm selling it with the idea that it will get painted by the new owner.

I'm also removing my TRD front bumper canards. I believe I have the installation stencil still. I'll be posting those for sale soon too.

My Work XSA-04C wheels will also be going. I haven't decided if I'm selling my tires too though... I'll post about that sale soon.

I also want to sell my MAXXD Drop and Load trailer. I am planning on getting a wider trailer for 2018... My trailer only has 3 trips to Houston, 3 to Dallas, and 1 to Midland.

Keep an eye out for my For Sale posts if interested. Message me if you have any specific questions about any of my parts.

I began and basically completed my aero kit removal today...The kit is now posted in the market place.

Tomorrow I'll take off my front bumper and possibly my front fenders. I may dry fit my new lip and wide body front bumper extentions...

Anyway, to prove that the red is real... lol I took a pic of my rear bumper with the rear diffuser removed. Once again, red microfiber towels did that.

Wow, that's crazy! If I had known you were using cheap towels on your beast, I would've yelled at you long ago!

Have you tried to call the company that makes the towels? I feel like there could be some type of lawsuit in that. That's just crazy!

I recently noticed some coolant seeping from the hoses connected to my OEM plastic filler neck. I was able to get it to stop for a short while but then the seeping returned. I've already tightend the t-bolt clamps and added a stop nut. Perhaps the filler neck is cracked or maybe the hoses have become damaged.

Either way I ordered the pictured parts to eliminate at least part of the possible cause. I ordered my Koyo aluminum filler neck and cap from josh @Kami Speed. Hit them up... I promise you won't be disappointed!

Does it take a special cap, or can it use stock?
