good thing we didn't plan anything formally for playing with my car today, weather is all full of a fat case of lame right now. I'm sure it'll clear up later which will mean it will be all nice and 1000% humidity with everything damp and crappy...yay! I might get brave tomorrow, just depends on when I wake up and how motivated I'm feeling

it's easy. Apply the wax or sealant in the direction wind flows over your car to avoid swirls, Then remove with the buffer but let the buffer do the work and glide over your car, don't press on it or you will burn the paint. Make sure you use a good pad too.

I'm shooting for the 20th of this month, I have help coming from the original person who helped design/build everything. I'm probably going to wind up doing it in my driveway or garage, if you'd like to come hang out let me know, I'm in south Austin and don't mind people coming to hang out, even though it might be kinda' boring watching people work on the banana

I will most likely come by for a bit to check this out before I do the same to mine. I've got a mondo term paper due the following day which will ream my hole like a ****.

Any objections on painting a spare set of S1 wheels I have lime green? For some reason I want to do this..... I'm 31... what am I thinking...

Would it be retarded looking to paint some S1 wheels I picked up lime green? For some reason I want to do this..... I'm 31... what am I thinking...

Someone did G35 wheels on an 8 in Lime green. Just do it.

depends on the shade really, right shade on the right color would probably look dope, then again, I had chrome wheels at one point, so be weary of that as it may discredit my opinion

Some reason I really like odd colored rims, so I say do it. If you're unsure, put up a photoshop request and get a few different shades so you can get an idea of how it will turn out.

I haven't bothered to Photochop it yet.
On the ABlue with a neon-ish lime green the contrast, assume the correct shade, should look hot. They are my spare wheels so its not like it would be drive every day.
