Installed a dashcam. Right now the wire runs along the A pillar at the window but I'll get around to tucking it into the trim when I get some time.

Got my plastidip at 9:40 last night from UPS. I had my car prepped in the morning waiting for it, so I just did it late at night. Heres the result, I ordered the new Luxury Metal Plastidip which has metal flake in it. Turned out good, the key is to heat the cans up to have a better result. Has 1 coat of glossifier over it.

Hand washed it and realized you can't wash it with the fob near the vehicle. The lock sequence was going off all the time. Lesson learned.

Had my baby washed and waxed. They used Meguier's Scratch X 2.0 wax. Swirls are gone.

Yes, the original went bad at 18k. Making clanking sound in the head region of passenger side towards the back. Sounds like the valve doesn't close fast enough and it's getting hammered by the piston.

That sounds awful. Sorry to hear that (no pun intended).

Ended up blacking out my side trim today too, leaving the front end alone as I like the way it looks with the chrome grill. Liking how the black side trim and rear stuff goes with the black car. Now just gotta do wheels eventually, may go with some titanium look.

Set up front license plate for my GS. No effing way I was drilling holes in the bumper, so instead set up plate holder through grille (Ignore the dirty bumper, just came back from road trip and no time to get to car wash).
