check out this radio delete and radio delete pod I printed for another member! Love how these came out




Also printed these huge donuts on our big printer at work. Came out great!




Also took an honorable L this weekend.

Ran a headers, full exhaust, intake, tune, 10 speed 5.0 and he had me by about a bumper-fender at the end of it. 10 speeds are a cheat code. Very impressive cars.

Been doing some maintenance on the cars. Changed the oil in the TA and V. Noticed my air bags were not holding air and discovered this split in one of them. Contacted air lift and they sent me a whole new kit under warranty 6 years after I bought them. Cant beat that customer service!

Also decided to fix some of the little things wrong with the TA. When I was messing around with swapping my wheel and the clock spring last year I lost the little piece of plastic that allows the stalk to control the high beams. Purchased one of those (Brock 7827028 for any one that is searching) and got it installed. It's weirdly just sandwiched between the plastic column cover, kind of a PITA, had to use some tape to hold it in place temporarily.

Also replaced my horn. Could not tell you the last time I had a functioning horn. As long as I've had the car the horn was finicky. Would only work if you hit the button just right, and eventually the horn itself just died. Really dont know why I waited so long, it took maybe 5 minutes to replace lol.

Yeah it does! Something about a finished floor in a garage completely changes the space.

Spent my 4th detailing the car. Started with a wash, clay, one-step correction (uro fiber pad and 3D One polish), and a spray ceramic. Then removed all the wheels and polished those with white diamond and a mothers power cone, then some spray ceramic wax.

Tried the Griots 3 in 1 ceramic wax and was real impressed with it. Went on a lot nicer than the Turtle Wax Hybrid solutions and the Turtle Wax Seal-n-Shine I have. Got caught in a little shower while I was out and about and water beaded off by the time I got home. Would recommend!

Also removed the dip from the Caddy. It was starting to fade and peel in spots and it just looked like ****. Naturally it didnt peel up easily so used some WD40, pressure washer, and some elbow grease. Took a couple hours but it worked. Gonna find someone to wrap it all professionally bc I do enjoy the blacked out look.

Yeah the exposed chrome makes it seem less sinister. Wheels look great. I almost snagged a set of sp500s for an Fbody, but it didnt work out.

Got her back from the shop! Had them do the window trim, fender vents, and trunk trim. Looks and feels a lot better than dip for sure. Won't have to redo it in less than a year either

Hope ya don't mind....I have recently got into photo editing and was scrolling through the post a pic of your ride thread and came across this one that I thought would be a good one to give a try.

I'm not very good at it but figured I would share the results of your picture.

Fun run with a random M6 5.0. No clue what was done to it, but I'm assuming not much other than exhaust.
