Default New Pictures of the Blue Beast!! (13 pics, 56k go make dinner)

I finally had a opportunity to clean the T/A and give her a nice shower. I had lots and lots of dirt and hard water spots builtup from going to the local mountains, going in snow, and then two weeks later i went to the beach with my buddies (something you can only do in SoCal)

I found that...

... using a claybar on the polished clearcoat lip of my evo's made them shine like they where brand new!!!

....NXT + clay bar + a microfiber whipe down makes my 8 year old paint job look like it just came out of the dealership....


The pictures are nothing special, i didnt feel like going somewhere and shooting pictures, but there just from around my house.

Most of my mods are in my sig, but if you have any other questions i will try to fill you in!

Thanks guys...

with the shaved door handles, its not THAT much work, I took a welding class for 2 years @ a CC for fun, so you learn a lot as you go, but it was like only 200-250ish $$ from the work i had completed when it went into the body shop!
