All washed up!

Hey guys, just wanted to share some pictures of my 8 with everyone. Been on here for about a year but never shared any pictures. Just got some time this past weekend while replacing my rear o2 sensor. No more CEL!

Also I had posted last week about the car stuttering/bogging, and good news (I guess) is it hasnt done it once since then.... Gonna probably go ahead and replace coils, etc. just to be safe. Was toying with the idea of replacing the cat, but after getting under the car replacing the o2, I noticed that the rear cat is welded to my cat-back. I have a Borla cat-back so Im guessing they welded it at that point.

ANYWAYS, just an update! On to the good stuff!

(wheels and badging were done with just rust-o-leum spray and clearcoat)

@Speed_8 - Haha, yeah I was washing the 8 and then decided that I would spray off the driveway while I was at it. (we just finished having mulch brought in, so the driveway was pretty nasty)

Only real plans I have are tinting the windows, and possibly lowering it this summer.

@everyone else - Thanks much guys!

paint looks a bit dry, needs a layer of wax.

@Novoken - Yeah tossed that idea around a bit, probably will paint the centers this summer, when I do a fresh coat on the wheels.

Also, where did you get your eyelids? (love em!) And did they come painted or did you have them painted?

@jasonrxeight - Yeah for sure, haven't waxed it since Ive had it.....
