I wish I had the discipline to work out daily. I used to, but with an infant, it's just hard to not miss sometimes

Today I washed her free of the polen and bugs and dust from our little trip Wednesday and Thursday to Charlotte .... and then I dried her and put her cover back on.

Thanks guys. I can't wait to take better pics. My wife said I was obsessed and that I could live with two tiny holes but It just seemed liked such a shame that a basically new car had the holes in the bumper. Hope that makes sense. I felt a bit guilty spending money on something so minor.

I did the same thing on mine... No worries. However, instead of buying new bumper, I had them fill in the holes paint instead. This was on my brand-new Acura. Then, 90 days afterwards, I had Clearbra put on the entire car.

Took to the dealer, an hour trip each way, for his first and free oil change. It was dirty after the weekend rain storms. I had not washed it yet because there is a chance for rain again tomorrow. To my surprise, a car wash was included in their oil change program. While there I got a 50 years of Mustang poster.

Yes, but I don't know if all dealers have them. Every one that I have read about that got one has gotten them from a dealer. It was free.

Finally got off my butt and installed the CHE relocation brackets and Steeda no-logo billet aluminum rear lower control arms.

Still have the Steeda "for lowered cars" upper control arm and the CHE axle brace to install, but this was a great start.

The "before" (BMR stuff):

And the main reason I didn't try to install the axle brace today:

Yes, the standard bracket for the back of the diff won't fit on the finned cover.

CHE has me covered though, they're sending me a different bracket, just for the finned-cover cars.
