A couple of pics of MODs... Well, finally got around to washing the "Beast".........
which leads me to a question of the board.......is it obsessive to wash your car at night?......and have you done that before?....
sometimes you just run out of light....
anyway......here's the !mouldings shot.....
and another......if you haven't done this MOD, I would highly recomend it, looks great and it's easier to apply Zaino.......which she also got a coat of (Z2)....
and the hardest of the 2 MOD's........the windshield header, took several beers to get this one done...

Car looks sweet, what does it say on the scoop?
)the hood scoop decal (from Afterthoughtsauto.com) says "H.O. 350", I like the horsepower ones too, but I liked this one better.....plus Mark used to have it on his ride and I always liked it, the decal AND the car....

I think the car looks great. I like the GS stripes quite a bit especially silver/gray on a navy car.Understated and attractive.
Yes, I have washed my cars and my bike at night.

That car is just beautiful. Been there, done that on the night wash. As long as there's a spec of light, nice temp and frosty beverages in the necessary garage fridge!!!

Car looks mint. Crazy to wash it at night? I've washed my car in the rain then pulled it into the garage to dry it. Now I know that is probably nuts. But if it was going to be nice the next day and i had a lot going on then it was better than driving a dirty car all day.

I washed mine at 1 in the morning one night. It was like 38 degrees out and it sucked. My hands were numb, but the car looked good! (I think) Couldn't reall see it, it was a bitch to dry too because I couldn't see where the water was.
I think most the people on here are obsessive car washers

I wash and wax mine about once a month in the winter when the car is in storage in the garage under a cover. I just uncover it fire up the heat in the garage for about 6 hours and go to town. Is that crazy????

You have one nice looking piece of equipment!
I used to always wash mine in the middle of the night.
The only thing that sucked about doing that is trying to dry the darn thing with this Houston mist or "Sereno" like i call it.
"Sereno" = When you leave your car out at night and its not raining yet it still appears to be wet in the morning-Try drying your car while mother nature keeps sprinkling a verry light mist on it!
