Wash and applied Bead Maker. This stuff is amazing! Goes on easy and wipe off just as easy, leave a slick surface just like wax. I sprayed on everything: paint, glass, headlights, wheels. I did a pretty liberal initial application as the instructions says, must have used 5-6oz of the stuff. Smells great like tropical fruit mix. Windy as hell out here, got some product on myself. Let say I'm nice and shinny now and smell like mangoes.. Guys go order a pallet of this stuff, it's really amazing. I'll be doing my 4Runner and MDX next.


Blue Civic in background was my daily beater from 2 years ago. Sold it to neighbor when I got the GS, now he totally neglect it..

Had @Don Nguyen vinyl wrapped all my chrome pieces. Been meaning to have him do this for awhile now, just never got around to it until today. PM him for a quote yesterday and he immediately responded and set an appt for him to come out to my house the very next day! Had a great time chatting with him while he worked on my GS. Anyone in SoCal don't hesitate to call on Don for all your vinyl wrapping needs. He will travel to most location and his prices are very reasonable for professional work.



Meticulous work here



Had Don tint my front emblem, very subtle tint, but it's not as bright chrome now



Left my rear emblems alone for now. Not sure if I want to PlastiDip them or de-badge.



Looks mean now with chrome gone.

The chrome delete definitely looks good. I don't know if I want to do it to my car though considering it's already black...

I agree, might be a be much on a black car to chrome delete. How do you like them WellVisors? I looked them up once, seems very affordable for a set. I got a slight wind noise on my driver window, dealer didn't do a damn thing to fix it..wonder if those visors will cut down on wind noise.

They do the job lol. I don't know if it would help with the wind noise considering I've never had that issue. For the price, it's more worth it than the actual JDM visors. I'm going to have to redo the 3M tape soon. I'm getting a few leaks here and there.
