Sorry you're getting so much crap, but that was a really good decision!

On a positive note - washed and did my first uber detailing with Griot's paint Sealant and Best of Show Wax. Found a small clear coat scratch on the lower driver's door and was able to buff it out.

On the negative side - picked-up my Texas plates and mounted the front bracket. I can deal with drilling the holes in the front facia, but the bracket is a p.o.s. What dolt would design a plate bracket that is so shallow, the backing nuts really don't fit properly?

I reversed the clips for now, but the plate sticks out from the bracket which leads to my other negative for the day. With the lousy fit of the plate on the bracket, I decided to just attach the plate to the bracket with my new roll of 3M VHB tape, but it's miraculously disappeared. I had to order it from 3M because I couldn't find any at Home Depot or Lowes. Arghhh!

I'm going to figure out a better permanent solution for the front plate. I'm going to look for some really thin nuts and a set of short screws that will work behind the bracket.

Houston Cars and Coffee is next Saturday, and I want it fixed when I show up. Here's a picture pre-plates:

Sounds and looks good gurney!

that's some setup you got there with Griots PaintSealant core + Best of Show for LSP.

very durable and 3D finish.

Cool. Their instruction in Japanese wasn't that great either. It said place mounting tape on back side. No duh... wat they wanted to say was the tape is to make contact with the very rear portion of the factory spoiler.

Cleaned every loose item out of my car to prepare for my first AutoX event tomorrow

Only things left are: radar detector, floor & trunk mats, spare tire and tools. They will all come out right before the race.

BTW -- OUR SPARE WHEEL LOOKS COOL

Went down to the garage at about 2 am, decided to do the DIY Nismo Engine cover and finally install my Injen Intakes.

Wrapped up around 5am lol....took my time and also cause I dropped one of the vibration stabilizer thingys for the intake in the engine bay...twice...couldn't find it the 2nd time...loosened the undertray...nothing rolled out...its rubber mostly...so hopefully all is well

First of many pics I received from my photographer today. Shes a good friend of mine so I get free pics. I just bribe her with beer and a yogurt shoppe haha. I will have hi-res later on but this was sent MMS to my iPhone and then uploaded.

Stance.
Swift springs. 15/20mm spacers. 285/265 RE-11's

She also took the two pics you see in my avatar and signature here.

Took the cover off and motored out to Shakedown BBQ for their fall Creole-style Low Country Boil.

Fire · 09-24-2011, 10:15 PM

Thanks for the props guys. Now I need to descide what I want done at the shop. I think a nav/rear cam settup. Have to read on the audio/vis area to see what looks good and what will utilize some of what I already have like serius and blue tooth. Hey Ken read back to my questions on the lugs.

Nice pics posted today, keep them up.

@Luna,

Nice pic! I always feel self conscious after going to a BBQ as I can always smell the food on my clothes afterwards and I don't want my car to smell like BBQ.
