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

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

Today I removed a crap ton of road salt to see how well a new spray polymer is holding up. I am quite pleased thus far!
