Nah, they just get yellow again in 3-4 months, there’s other shit to do.
Noticed your brake fluid is black too. Maybe it's the bay area that turns fluid black so quick?

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.

would've still been a little fun to have a wheelbarrow full of 2700 singles into the dealership....

I do to but lately every time I wash the FRS more white spots (undercoating) shows up on the hood. I really need to get the hood repainted...

I've always wanted to do something with the cluster bezel. Looks like you did a great job! Did you sand it down at all? The texture gives me goosebumps
