Stripped the black plastidip off my Toyota badges. Loved the look but going for a more refined and less aggressive look now.

I switched do Motul's 8100 100% synthetic 5w30. I'm turbocharged so I figured this would be a good choice

Yeah, I usually give people a pretty wide berth anyways so I don't worry about that much, but it may prove troublesome when I travel to LA :p
