Reminds me of the time my buddy and I ventured down into San Luis Rio Colorado on a day trip from Yuma.

I thought Yuma smelled bad till I crossed the border into San Luis and walked through an open air meat market. The sight of them brushing the flies off the meat hanging in the open air before they cut it, plus the smell of their open sewers was more than I could handle.

At one point, I had to stick my face into a basket of flowers, to get a breath of "fresh" air, in order to make it outside of the market area......

I've been trying to decide what to do with the front grill, fog light covers and plastic on the rear bumper... Since I DD in all NJ weather the color has become faded over time.
I'm debating whether to plasti-dip / re-paint these black but am worried it might look awkward...

Does anyone have pictures of a dipped grill / fog light covers? Or should I stick with regular spray paint? Avoid all together?

Installed the other 3 today. Got ready to install a Borla axleback but it appears the flange is wrong. Making an adapter for it tomorrow...

I plan on doing rear subframe bushing tomorrow too. Lets see how much of a pain they will be.

Did you buy an axleback for a '17? The flange for the axleback was changed for '17.

I ordered a 2013-2016 but I was guessing that's what happened. I'd rather make an adapter than exchange it and wait. Actually, I'd rather weld it together than wait lol

Edit: I can't weld worth shit...A friend is making the adapter up for me.

Last week i did the spark plugs using the workshop procedure, took me 5h.
People telling they manage to do the sparks without lifting the engine must have baby hands.

DarkPira7e · 04-14-2018, 05:34 PM

Well, yesterday I vacuumed my car, cleaned everything, and boy am I glad I DIDN'T wash+wax.

I was just about to buy plugs and undertake this mission. Thank you for saving me the hassle. Time to phone a friend!!!

Installed rear subframe bushing and new wheels. Also attached the adapter for the Borla axleback. Worked like a charm!
