Bill how about not this weekend but the following weekend pending weather?
That doesn't sound half bad, we'll iron it out closer to the 17th.

This spray paint that I always use and lots of masking and patience. It holds up pretty well and every spring I just lightly hit it again. I can check into what kind it is but it's not a specialty paint it's a metallic silver that's very durable.

What operates the brakes when you don't have real calipers?

Jeffo, where did you get red tint? How does it math against existing red on the tail light?

I wanted pre cut for the rear signals (they're a funny shape) so there is one place on eBay that has it but lamin-x red is good. Just depends on the car but honestly it matches right on. I had it on my is350 the entire time I owned it and it was perfect. Looks like how it should have from the factory and lights up fine too.

Looks great! Why's the wife still on winters?
I can't find the mitt anywhere locally and don't want to risk paying $100 for it by the time I get it from the US  So I tried the clay again and it did what it needed to... it'll do.

^ that's pretty rad.
you think that stuff would be good to keep headlights from yellowing?
Headlights yellow due to the UV coating wearing out, so unless this spray on stuff has UV protection it isn't going to do jack for yellowing.

^ pretty cool Washed it for the first time on the weekend but I'll need to wax it soon. -Painted the calipers silver -Put on the red vinyl to get rid of the ugly yellow signals today (looks way better) -Light smoke vinyl on the lower reflectors to better blend in with taillights -Put in Philips Ultinon bulbs in headlights -Wheel spacers on the way -Pick up Tanabe springs Saturday -Rear ghetto tint comes off and new 50% tint comes on Wednesday 
Wow my car is way lower now lol
New coilovers on last week and new rims come in next week (avant garde m580 in 20's). I look forward to being able to wax the car in the next few weeks - I feel I'm getting old.
