Meguiar's High Gloss tyre shine - I've tried so many different kinds of tyre shine...some worked...some don't. Those that worked can't last 1 day..and those that don't....don't. However, this Meguiar works like a beauty. Quite thick to begin with, first application was already very good. I waited for it to dry up and then added a second gloss. wowee....once the gloss settled down...it was like using oil to coat the tyres man. Good stuff cannot bluff. Makes the car goes harder and faster (ok..i'm lying)..but it does make the car looks more wicked. Even at night, i can still see the glass effect..

Certainly a choice - hence a mod there!
Nice mod :D
I am sure the tyre shine reduces wind resistance and 0.01 of the quarter mile time.

0.01? you reckon? Could be faster as its a 8hp ATW(pun intended) increment.

More on topic - stealth bulbs. Phillips' Silvervision. No more ugly orange egg-yolk for me! Does anyone know if the LED side signal removes the orange? Tried SilverVision for the side - not as good as for the front & rear.

Another cool mod - Dupont wiper blades. Has a yellow Teflon strip so it's smoother and wipes better. Tried it today in the rain and WOW! No noise at all. Btw our RX blades are not even! One side 18" and the other 19". Who'd have thought!

Yo Coupe07! U the M-A-N! :D
My bad - 18" & 20". All blades sold individually. Got it from Stamford. Should've applied for 10% discount card BEFORE buying blades though
Very iffy (i.e. good, cool) blades. Most impressive! And not ex either. If only some kind soul could help reply me query (other post) on wiper mod. Any takers?
