Installed this trim piece I modified to house my toggle switches (since that little cubby area is all but useless.) I had it wrapped in Alcantara by Sweidit. Still need to figure out how I want to label them...

Blacked out my headlights. Figured since I had my bumper off, might as well replace the left holding bracket that makes my bumper sag - now it looks even worse with new bracket on.

Also figured I'd sand down the headlights - not sure what happened to clear coat, but it's foggy and dull, so I'm actually gonna buy a power drill this time and use a 3m kit.

But I did black out the insides and it's back on my car, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

I don't know what those switches do but it's good to see that space being used for something. That useless little cubby is annoying.

Lol I actually use mine to store a few cool looking shells I picked up at Pebble Beach a few months ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I drove from LA to San Francisco and back, hit 4k miles, and killed every bug on the 5 freeway.

I changed the oil and rotated the tires for the second time (5525 miles). She's looking good, and another sample is prepped for Blackstone UOA.

Not 100% sold on the look yet but added the rear stripe to complete the rear end.



Also added the interior sills

What kind of paint did you use for your headlights. I'm planning to do mine this Summer, and I was planning to use some high heat Rustoleum. Curious what others use.

That's what I used, but keep it in mind it'll look matte unless you go over it with something like a clear coat.

Changed the oil and took a sample for Blackstone oil analysi

Also put the summer setup on the car. Even at 50 degree temps the improvement in grip is huge. Not as easy to get out of shape around the corners though...
