also, i did a mini-detail today... using back to black that ryanroland recommended for all the black plastic/rubber. it was starting to fad/get white/oxidized. the stuff worked like a charm! i got a little adventurous and put some on the lip. it made it a tiny bit shinier so i'm pretty happy!

also armorall-ed everything and cleaned the windows. with my luck it will rain tomorrow!
i dont think it will rain tomorrow, but its crazy foggy! ive been meaning to do something about all the black trim though... how do you apply it and what happens if you get it on the paint?

Sanded my new garnish last night. 400 grit wet. Cleaned with wax remover, and applied 3 coats sandable primer. Will be wet sanding tonight with 800 grit and painting trim black.

I haven't seen a DIY for the CF wings and it seems like a good number of ppl are scared to order them because they have to drill holes but it is super easy. Should I do I DIY for it? I have a few pics of the holes and how i plugged the oem ones for later use.

Those who have all the $$'s want to be sure they keep them and get more - and our govt is aligned to support this objective.

On my EG i bought a used CF duckbill that had faded on the top so when i got my car painted i told them to tape off the bottom half of the wing and paint the top (faded) part the same as the car and it turned out so nice. it looks body matched until you look close underneath and you see the CF

Heres a pic of my baby back in 03, it was stolen two months after i took this pick fresh out of the paint shop

I like that good idea there. Im ordering my tanabe rear upper bar monday. That will finish my suspension. Was thinking exhaust next, but might go for duckbill instead.
Off that anybody done a custom fit of a vibrant or ap1 or ap2 muffler. Not looking for power, looking to add a better look to add shots. Already searching for ep3 si version, but wondering bout ap mostly.

We are not a manufacuring country any more. I work by shipping lanes were all the huge ships come and "Wait" to off load their cargo.
They leave port with "nothing" just our money for products America should be making for us and the rest of the world.
We sit on our asses blind to the fact that we are being bled dry of the finacial wealth of this country.
What the hell ever happened to MADE IN THE USA? This crap we are being fed by the goverment in the way of "Getting Paid" for no work is CRAZY.
We have every few industries now such as steel, lumber, basics that keep a country independent!! DAMN IT AMERICA when the hell are we going to wake up??

O' I DIE-GRESS here, I wanted to wash my Fit but it was too cold.......
