Good Luck!
Closed the door on my old Coronet by pushing the glass once too often and the whole window exploded in my hand.
You would think that would be a life long lesson learned but noooo I still catch myself doing in on the FRS.

Lol no, I hang them from the windshield wiper thing because it annoys me on track if it's hanging from the rear view mirror.

The car wash has heated bays, and an air hose to blow most of the water off.

I hang mine from the little stem that holds the passenger visor. Works quite nicely, and doesn't block the driver's view.

Did this sometime in the last week or so, noticed it today

The downside of having aggressive wheels. At some point I've hit a bump at full lock and hit the fender. It's now slightly warped and no longer lines up with the rocker panel

I redded-out my tail lights. Six coats of VHT nightshade; wet sand; four coats of gloss; wet sand; polish.

I might have gone a bit strong on the first sanding, there are some light areas I will have to re-touch.

Installed the Loden 86 badge to cover the steering wheel SCION badge.



I think that's the last scion branding on the car that was left to do.
