I finally turned on my XM radio trial period. I'm getting ready to take a road trip to Florida so I figured that would be a good time to try it out. Otherwise, my commute is so short I don't really need it.

Finally gave her a bath which was weeks overdue given the weather lately. Car was absolutely filthy. Will be clean for a day or two now (maybe).

Here's what it'd look like if you blacked out the chrome trim with light tint on the windows. I think a darker tint will complete the look. Going to finish it up this weekend, hopefully.

That looks good. Is that matte or gloss black? I tried wrapping the trim myself about two weeks ago but I was only able to complete 1.5 windows in six hours so I removed the vinyl in frustration. Here's a few pictures. Definitely post some more photos once you finish. Are you wrapping the front chrome or the exhaust tips?

It's just plast dip, I thought about using vinyl, but I was at Walmart and plasti dip was there as opposed to having to order the vinyl. Hahah I feel your pain though, it took me around 2 hours just to tape off the car, and after that, I ended up taking off most of the plasti dip because I was in a rush.

I'm going to use some glossifier this time around to match the black door pillars, and yes going to do the front grill as well...I don't know about the exhaust though.

Tinted windows 20% all around except the front windshield. Replaced front passenger tire after losing a battle with an unforgiving Michigan pothole.

Today, I changed my 6 Iridium's, My air filter and cleaned the throttle body. replaced my hood shocks and then started the car. i couldn't believe how terrible it idled.. I was sure i put the plugs in right and i know I didnt damage the throttle body. After re checking my connections. I saw that My @$$ forgot to plug in my throttle body SMH... Oh the horror!!!

Inspired by another member on this forum, I wrapped the wristrest with suede fabric.

Not as fancy as the authentic GSF one with stitching but this is close enough. Feels more premium for basically $2 in materials.
