You need a wheel brush.

I actually have three, I'm just lazy right now.

fixed my hid that broke...had to take off the wheels and front part of the fender liner to get to the hole...wait a pita

Not really done to my vehicle today, but more like, over the past few days.

Got my JDM spoiler on Monday, started to prep the car and the spoiler itself so I can fit it. Painting the entire car this winter anyway, so no shortcuts!

Took the rear wing off, found some rust and have been sanding it away. Still have a final bit to get rid of. Then started filling in the deep scratches and gouges on the wing. Also been helping a couple of people with (badly) painting their lips, so all the paint fumes, bondo and other random crap flying around can't be good for my lungs, even with a mask lol.

Pics spoilered, just cuz.

That's what I had to do when one of the HIDs burnt out :pokerface:

Excuse the dump, I can't access the journals section yet.

Continued stripping the remaining parts of the quarter panel off. Then it's rust repair, and a new quarter panel goes in it's place.

I wish I had that much space... :( someday:okay:

Drove it out to buy mum flowers for birthday, come back home with a nail in the tire :(

Put on the spare tire for now.

Aw :(

I am sure its repairable so have your original patched up.

Yup, going to drive to the local tire shop to have it patched up :thumbs:

Redlines!

Lights on

The whole process took about 1.5 hours to do and I'm pretty pleased with the result! It looks like the color is mismatched by a little but you can't really tell in person, must be the camera flash.

Finally got around to re-installing my HID's.

Damn bulbs are so expensive so I only ordered the one that was burnt out. I forgot bulbs color changes to more blue-ish as they age. So now I have one blueish bulb and one pure 4300K bulb.

:facepalm:

oh well, atleast im not blind at night now :fullofwin:

Got a car wash from Shine Auto Wash. Definitely worth the money

^ my car needs one of those.

Got my front left tire patched up, can drive it again :thumbs:

After tons of body and suspension work, I am ready for winter.

Coded in the entertainment list and telephone into my HUD (heads up display).

Forgot to mention, I'm going start removing my interior wood trim tonight so I can replace it with the "fineline" wood trim which has a matte finish.

Here's what the matte finish looks like;

Never been a fan of wood trims, but that one's pretty nice.
