I still can't enclose pics yet. I always have a hard time getting them into the forum. However, I will take pics today and see if I can post them tomorrow.

Look at this thread here, has pictures and installation video. Definitely worth it, makes you feel safer being able to see more. I bought them from circuitmotorsports, $65 (+$15 shipping to Canada), shipped directly from factory, took 2 weeks. You'll get the latest revision.

Bumper separation next to driver's side headlight (No fix, have to bring to body shop if I want it fixed).

Figured while I was there, I'd get the 7500 mile service since it's free, and I don't have time/facilities right now to do it myself.

Today: Found puddle of oil under car this morning. Lesson learned. I'll go back after work to have the leak fixed, then do the rest myself. Free be damned.

Just found this out myself, I can relate to how you feel. Free be damned!
@dbrandt01 no two bucket method?!? haha j/k. I feel like I'm neglecting my car, now I have to go wash/wax it today haha

dbrandt01 · 10-08-2013, 11:31 AM

@Steve201brz Haha no. I've never once did the two bucket method, despite seeing everyone else do it that way. It was relaxing though washing/waxing. Weather is perfect down here.

AznBRZer · 10-08-2013, 11:36 AM

I hope you didn't wash the car in the sun.

You can live with one bucket. You'll get minute swirl marks probably, but minor if you're careful. At least get a grit guard. The wheels will kill you though. Use a different bucket and NEVER use the same sponge/mitt on the wheels and paint.

Lamin-X yellow foglight covers and Lamin-X smoked reverse lights/rear foglight

So they had a look, cleaned off the undertray, and determined there was no leak. I'm skeptical, but after sitting a couple hours this afternoon, I see no drops. I guess they made a literal mess of the job, but I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Nope! Rattle cans of duplicolor metalcast red and rustoleum clear.

here's a better shot of the tails:

I do my wheels last and use the crappiest MF towel and toss it out afterwards. No point in even cleaning it with all the brake dust and crap on it.
