    Nice. I'm planning on using plastidip for my window trim as well... let us know how it holds up.

    Today I checked my tire pressure. Wooooo, exciting...

    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    Over the weekend I slowed my coolant leak down from about 1/4 gallon a day to about 4 oz a day, and topped off my oil...


    Now to:
    1) Pay off my mechanic.
    2) Buy that light bar from here.
    3) Get that fuse from here.
    4) Figure out where I'm getting a fuel filler tube from and get it.

    Drove our BH to work today and noticed the lights in the headunit stopped working. Maybe its time to upgrade from the am/fm/cassette player.

    Same. But, it'll be well worth it. I got my gold flake in today. I think that was the last thing I was waiting for. Should be primed by tomorrow or Thursday.

    I found a spider crawling across my sun visor while driving. I left it's dead body there so that if any more try to get in, they will see that I don't mess around with bugs in my car.

    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    PLASTI DIP fun
    I've never been a fan of chrome accent pieces on cars, although they probly look best on silver
    I used a large cardboard shield to protect the spray from the wind (hardly any though) and to protect the rest of my car









    Now that bar matches the black back bumper protector, much more fun to be had with this.


    and a little demo for those on the fence of using this

    I used this test piece of glass to see how the paint peeled away (so my car wasnt the test)

    ignore the overspray as I didnt paper cover the glass, I just used painters tape to define the lines for the pics. The glass is clean, clear and perfect under the area I peeled away







    I can easily get that overspray off in a min with very little effort too, just by rubbing my my hand over it the friction will take it off.

    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    Took off the MAF sensor and hit it with MAF cleaner yesterday. Seems to run smoother now. Today I put a 6 disc changer/cassette player from an 02 Impreza into our 00 Outback. Also, what is the engine oil capacity with filter change for a 2.5L 00 Outback? I need to do that in the next few days.

    Round two of headlight polishing. I got it this time.







    The right one looks hazy still, but it's just water vapor that entered the housing. It should clear itself next trip.

    Cleaned up the headlight corners on my JDM projectors - rockblocker kept the fronts clean, but the corners had UV haze.

    Then decided to polish my hood & front fenders.

    It's really warm out...

    FInally got the JDM conversion grill finished. Couldnt find the L7 badges i bought so im really pissed about that. FIller looks like hell. so overall im not to satisfied with it but its better than no grill.



    Wet sanded and used some headlight polish on the badge and it came out pretty nice


    Also Got this MOMO wheeled installed. Purchased on craigs for 80 bucks and its in perfect condition. Im really satisfied with the look and feel

    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    I have been dealing with a wobble in the steering wheel with a groan from the right front wheel that got worse with turning at high speed...all indications pointed toward my axle, which I knew was bad. I ordered a new axle and spend the day yesterday putting that in. After that, I tried to install my new exhaust that has been sitting around. My current exhaust is such a hack job that I couldn't do it though. I did manage to muscle my speedy racer borla reps into place though, only to realized they touch the oil pan. I said to hell with it and went on a drive to make sure my wobble was fixed, and, of course, it's not. Rotated tires and that still didn't fix it. Now I'm looking toward wheel bearings or tie rods, so I said screw it and I'm going to order wheel bearings, bearing seals, inner and outer tire rods, and ball joints. It's gonna take a while though, as I am working almost the next two weeks straight for beach money, and then I'll be on vacation for a week. Thankfully, I have the truck. [/rant]

    ^lol, no wait! I change my mind! TOO BAD! What are you up to?

    Changed the oil today and swapped out my borla rep header for stock because I was getting tired of rewrapping it every year or 2 to keep the "sewing machine" sound away. Got the old one all in and looking pretty and wouldn't you know it, no one has a gasket I need in stock. Right now I'm driving around with a gnarly exhaust leak coming from between the header and cat(meow) until tomorrow.
