I suggest using a tin / clear bra shop to get your old ones removed and the new ones put on straight. That's what I did, just don't be duped into paying more than $100 for the entire job.

Do you do cars and coffee on Eastern?

Dude I TOTALLY agree - this has made me do some hard thinking....seeing this I'm thinking, "everything that I know is WRONG!"

I don't even want to ask the damage on that spoiler as i) I'm sure it will cost by first newborn and ii) despite that - I will buy it.

I did my stone guards myself - ordered the actual part from Suncoast. You can do it yourself. I think I posted on the steps I took - but if you do order the PM me and I can walk you through it.

You can def do it. It takes patience but a fun DIY

It's a stoack Aero kit wing with a carbon blade. The blade will set you back about $800. There are a few places that sell them here.

Who did the steering wheel?
It looks real good, as does the rest of the car.

I might go this weekend. My gf's parents are in town and he's into classic cars so my gf says I should take him as they don't have C&C where he's from.

I started to wash the car and noticed some light scratches if looking at it from an angle thats bugging me. But in the sun its really hard to see. Do you detail your own car or take it somewhere? I probably would want a professional to fix whatever scratches I have and then take care of all of the washing and waxing on my own from there.

I usually get my car washed by a crew that stops by my office, they seem to be good. Much better than a regular car wash for sure. I really stopped paying attention to every little scratch, but if there is something that bothers me I try to have a prof paint place take care of it.

I'm thinking about going this Sat as well. Shoot me a pm if you'll be there.

Looking good Vegas, God do I love White 997's. I followed a White Turbo S to work today, freaking gorgeous. Luckily I didn't plow into the back of him as it turned out to be my CEO!
