Saving this for some other pictures...

Rear emblems

Today's accomplishment...Flippy Key!!!

Installed the grounding kit today. Definitely need to tuck some wires and clean it up in there soon. Put the cover back on the engine for now.

Got my HVAC knobs installed. They look so much better and in the dark have the ring kit up around them.

Lowered the passenger wiper so it doesn't sit as high up now.

And then a little Zoom-Zoom on the back. I think I'm gonna tint the tails soon and delete the rear wiper to clean it up back there.

How do you make the passenger windscreen wiper to stop lower?

There's a cover at the end of the wiper stalk, pop that off and unscrew the nut. Then you can rotate it, mine took a little wd40 to loosen it

So I unscrew the nut, rotate the wiper to the required position and screw it back? Seems easy to do, I'll try that today

Thanks

Starting to look like halo0's old hatchback.

No complaints, looks great!

I knew the comments about looking similar would come up. Im sure there's many more things I'm gonna do that he did as well, but you can't stop what looks good lol I knew the comments about looking similar would come up

Here's a picture from just over year ago with my car at one end and his at the other, shortly after I had got mine

Damn, every time I browse this forum, I find some other reason to spend money on my car. Those look really sharp. I always kinda thought the HVAC knobs looked a little cheap when the rest of the interior seams more nicely integrated together. Looks like next paycheck, these are going on the to-do list along with LaminX fog overlays.

Really nice car btw. What's next?

I like to find the small subtle things like that to change, really brings things together.

Hopefully this weekend I will finally get around to taking the 2.3 badges and side moldings off. After that I need to get a new lower grill since mine is cracked. When I replace that, im going to install the hella horns and HIDs. Just knock them all out while I have the bumper off. I also have the spin on oil filter conversion waiting for when I do my next oil change.

After that I'm not sure.

Sounds like we're on the same level. I want to keep the car clean and low key. Planning a lot of the same mods too. Probably the wildest I'll do to this car in the near term is paint the wheels bronze. It'll look sick on my Phantom Purple car.

Side moldings and 2.3 emblems finally came off today. Looks so much better. Pictures will come after I get her all cleaned up again

 

[philrab]

Next on my list too, along with a good polish and wax. Maybe next weekend.

Still need to do a good polishing and waxing one day but her she is all clean

 

[philrab]

Looks good. I just pulled my moldings and badges, but Mother Nature said no waxing today. Rain's every damn day around here in the summer.

Wiper delete and plastidipped the shifter surround today

You must live in rain-less area. I really like my rear screen wiper when it rains (which is very often here).

 

[xJAZx]

Rains at least once a week, I don't use it and the rain mostly falls off on its own

Must be different rain to our UK rain here then
