Here are some washed and polished pics. I gave up on Zaino since it's so hard to see on a white car. It's too much work for too little difference. I just use something like that "Wax as you Dry" stuff, but what I have is made by Dupont. After I blow most of the water off the car and out of the nooks and crannies (like the grille and the SilverHorse Racing rear panel), I just spray this stuff on the car and wipe it off as I finish drying.

Any little black spots you see are bugs - they think the car is a light.

I like the eerie looking clouds reflecting in the tint and hood stripes.

And a pic of my rusty rotors (for all y'all non-Florida folk):

After I drive it, the rust goes away and stays away until I wash it again.

Wow that Flordia humidity really does a number on the rotors. So far so good mine are still rust free. Like I said before I can't believe you waited so long to tint your windows. The car looks so much better with windows tinted.

The first pic in the second row got me thinking about ordering that hood stripe.

Here's a pic of a new hood graphic they're offering. Only problem is that it's only a paint stencil. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if they can make a vinyl cutout of that stripe.

Well, there used to be a permanent ring of rust from the powdercoating not reaching the pads, but since I painted them there is only rust right after washing. Pulling into the garage, I let the brakes drag slightly and that was enough to shine 'em up!

I definitely love the tint! I can't believe I waited so long, either. See the first pic in the second row with the cloud reflection in the strip of tint across the front? There's no way you can see the radar detector!

You would get the stripe in matte black? It should fit perfectly - my car was the model!

No doubts it will fit perfectly it's just I like the design of the "paint stencil". I'll call tomorrow and see if I can convince them to make a graphic of it for me. If I do go through with it I think I"ll go with either the matte black or a dark metallic charcoal.

Have you considered buying the black taillight trim? I think it would go well with your theme as well as your SHR panel.

Okay need another opinion from all of you. I considering removing one of my 281 badges. The one on the passenger side that reads 182. Do you guys think it will look awkard with only one emblem?

Does it actually say 182 on the other side?!

I just looked at some of your photos, it looks great as is!

Exclamation Is it me?

Does it seem like this server has really bogged down and gotten laggy lately?

Yes... MTAS has it and I saw it in person at our meets and car shows. I just have to find it and eventually get it.

They both say "281". It doesn't say "182"... everybody here reads left to right. Leave it alone or take both off, not just one. Personally, I would take both off (they're too big). But I know somebody that will argue with me!

Thanks for the opinions guys. I think I'll either leave them both as is or change one if the deal with autobadges works out.

Tom-Here's a link to the tailight trim.

Having PW, I don't blame you for switching away from Zaino. As long as you keep a good coat of whatever on it, it'll remain smooth as glass.

Noooo!!!

Don't do that design, Leo.

Don't you dare! Get over it, it looks great!

Keep in mind, any derogatory comment you make on the awkard appearance of the '281's' affects me too.

Leo, stop smoking that junk!

Remember when you said for me to tell you when you start doing 'tupid stuff? Leave them alone or like Tom said, take them both off.
