Started to dislike the license plate being off to the side (see here), so with my amazing fab skills I cut and bent a couple pieces of aluminum (because lightweight because racecar!!1) and put it in the middle:
  Couple more pics: http://imgur.com/a/SWR9k I did add bolts to the top holes to gussy it up since taking the pics. Had to drill some scary big holes to fit the 1/4-20 rubber nut inserts I sourced from Home Depot, but it sure worked nicely. Just need to decide if I want to sell my Grimmspeed plate relocation kit now... |

Finally disconnected my stock axleback from my midpipe. Can't believe how rusted the bolts were for such a young car.
Ratchet started to strip the nuts. Air ratchet would not budge, with torch used for heat. So I spent the best $25 ever. Screw the bolts   Anyone have similar experience? I bought a catback, so I was glad the spring bolts weren't seized. |

Started coating the car with Optimum Gloss Coat.
Wish they still sold opticoat 2.0, but we'll see how this holds up. 2 years would be nice Application is much easier than I thought. I only did the trunk and bumper for now. The rest of the car needs hours of buffing, so I'll do the rest in a few weeks. I'll review when I finish. Just hoping to protect the car for the winter

I haven't done it yet, but I got these in the mail over the weekend and I have a buddy that will assist me with installation next Monday! Thank you to @Raceseng for getting these out much faster than I had anticipated and thanks to @FT-86 SpeedFactory for facilitating the order!

found out that i could change my cars setting from unlocking just the drivers door from the drivers door handle to both doors from the drivers side. Now I don't have to be chivalrous to my man anymore.
