Started the day by adding Kno Knoise Kollosus Edition sound deadening to the rear hatch area, then washed it. The sound deadening seems to have helped quite a bit- I no hear more wind noise that road noise at 70+

600 grit sandpaper, some elbow grease, and a kit I picked up from an auto parts store with all components needed and UV clear coat to protect the lights.

First time using PlastiDip, I painted my door handles and I'm actually very pleased with how they turned out. I used 4 coats and we'll see how long it lasts.

Dom's car is so nice even though I'm not a huge fan of stance.

I would have put at least 6. After a while of opening the door, it's going to start to peel slowly.


Unless you got it really good on the inner part of the actual handle

Nothing like pissing off a Challenger because you can get through traffic quicker.

Been watching it rain, AGAIN!!!! Poor car is a mess. Weather for today looked clear and I had great plans of cleaning. Needless to say it appears the weather folks get paid again for getting it wrong. Been needing a wash job for over a month. It won't stop raining long enough to get it done. Next weekend, I will wash it in the rain. I have had enough.

yah, just rinse the grit off in the rain with a hose and do the rest inside your garage using waterless wash.

if that's a weekend car, make sure to blow a fan at the car for several hours... run a dehumidifier if you have one too.

Exactly.

He was a crappy driver, riding the as$ of the car in front of him and hitting his brakes every few seconds. As soon as I could, I gunned it around him and through a few other cars. I guess he took it as a challenge and tried to catch up. He ended up getting stuck in the exit lane.
