Damn, I need 16's. That looks like the perfect tire size. Great shot, too.

Finally tackled the leaking antenna. Since I was going to sound deaden the roof, I decided to drop the headliner as well.

I'm a little late here, but that steering wheel wrap came out KILLER! I would like to upgrade the one I have on mine with one of those that reaches all the way to the middle.

One of the most satisfying things I've read in a while

I installed a JBL Basspro Nano in the little space in my right rear of the hatch. Fits there like it was made for it! Obviously being mounted vertically, I needed it mounted it super securely - I bolted it to a Masonite panel which is in turn bolted to the frame elements of the car, with only minimal holes drilled in the plastic panels.

Cool! Keeps it out of harms way!

Suddenly I realized I need to check to be sure my seat still reclines all the way. I'm pretty sure it will, but I better check.

Picture is from Cars and Coffee Saturday morning - drove it instead of the VIP Ls430

Went to a junkyard afterward that is a honeypot of Fits, picked up a replacement airbox since I stupidly threw mine out after the HKS intake install (which in the uber NC heat makes the car run super rich) and I got a new washer bottle. Will go back for an undented white rear drivers door soon.

Sunday was oil change day and my yearly plug check. plug 1 was loose this year. Last year was plug 3, and the first year I had the car was plug 2..lol

Currently working on getting a '12 Sport front bumper so I can use my Mugen Shuttle grill, my girlfriend works for an auto group conglomerate and can get employee pricing on the factory bumper lol

Front lip spoiler

So, a lil eBay addition until I pull the trigger on the JDP lip.

im not unhappy with it though.
I like it, tbh. Understated, as opposed to the ones that protrude lots and demand attention. I’m all about the subtle bits.

The front seats are stained so I'll need to apply some carpet cleaning solution and a good shampoo. But trust me when I tell you it looks much better. Due to lack of time I had neglected this beauty.

The dome and map lights were getting dim and I could hardly see anything at night so I went ahead and upgraded to Auxito LED lights and it's a night and day difference.

I did mine too.... Silver of course is one of those colors that "never looks dirty" but in my case there was a lot of brake dust and some overspray from when I sprayed Surface Shield inside my rockers. It really needed the wash! Still have a some stubborn bug guts to get off.
