Washed Wednesday, clay bar'd thursday, polishing wax today. Besides washing, clay bar and polish took me a total of about 5-6ish hours.

It's not as nice as it looks up close and in person. My car has millions of scratches and dinks and missing clear coat all over the place. But it looks amazing from a distance :lol:.

And my rear license plate bolts broke off with the thread part still in the trunk cuz they are SO damn rusted. So hopefully cops don't give me s**t since you need both plates in NY. It's in the rear window by the speaker but we all know cops like to be dicks.

Pics speak for themselves ;):







I've concluded all I want to do for exterior is 5-lug with ITR wheels, eibach pro-kit drop, OEM SI grill, and OEM SI lip. Then I'll be set.

lol I know. Why do you think my car is still stock? :P. I'm really picky about how I want my car to look, handle, feel, and turn out in the end. If I didn't care as much, I would already be dropped on eBay coilovers, have a CTR style lip, and have $150 knock-off rims that a local is selling.

looks good, wanna help and do mine
If you didn't live so far away, sure haha. It's not hard. Just takes a lot of time and patience.

I really want to. But I got to class all 5 week days and work the rest of the 2 weekend days so I don't really have the time to paint em and let em dry.

Thanks to everyone else for the comments :thumbs up.

look good bro! i like the future plans you have for it
Thanks. But it'll only take you know...5+ years to actually save up the money to just START buying all that lol. I'm gonna be spending thousands (that I don't even have yet) for tools for an auto program I just started, then school loans, etc.

I'll get there some day though...
