Re-mounted my driver's side USDM fog light...

I clipped a cone at the Autoclub speedway roval on the left turn coming off the banked turn into the infield at 60MPH... deflected the bumper cover enough to let the two tabs on the inboard mount pop out. All better now and ready for Streets of Willow!

Ocvs are <9 months old, but for the rest yeah, no salt nor snow around here. After prying off the front cover and upper oil pan though, yeah this kind of sucks, hopefully I only have to do it once a decade or so.

After you polish them, spray them with clear UV protection spray paint

Krylon clear UV protection

Hah! We don't get much sun here, my polishing lasts like 7 months. It all equals out.

Noticed your brake fluid is black too. Maybe it's the bay area that turns fluid black so quick?

Works Bell GTC Hub. Getting in/out of the car is now less of a pain in the ass.

Damn your cars must be fuckin spotless, glad I didn’t get a shot of it with the sun on the paint, y’all would take the car away from me.

Toyota dealer. Less then $2,700 so far, even a briefcase would be overkill for that much money, you can fit a wad of Benjamin’s in your pocket and have enough left over for a nice dinner.

Probably because it’s like 2-3 years old at this point going to swap to SRF this winter probably, it’s fine as long as I’m not hitting the track. Maybe it’s the attitude that function > pretty? I suppose that’s a bit of a Silicon Valley thing.
