Don't feel bad Mark. I haven't driven my car in a week. I'll take it out tonight if the sun stays out.

Today I installed the new "gunsmoke" headlight tint and the new hood-vent inserts:

Dude you really need to get some more aggressive wheels on that thing. It needs some concave 20s or deep dish 20s. I have pretty much the same headlight tint. Love the looks during the day, but I've noticed at night it does kinda block the light a bit. What front sidemarkers do you have? The hood vents look awesome btw!

Thanks Patrick ... still looking for the right wheels ... and the vent decals were a pain in the butt ... the headlight tint was super-easy in comparison.

Can't wait to get the fogs tinted too ... got the film here, waiting till I remove the bumper for the new Roush grille and maybe the new heat exchanger

EDIT: the front sidemarkers are eBay specials, the rears I removed and tinted myself with Rustoleum Lens Tint

Tried the Surf City Garage “new tire look” dressing and the initial results look satisfactory. I’ll see how it holds up to the desert heat/sun and car washes.

The new hood vents look great, especially on SGM.

I looked at the Mistress I as I closed her garage door before heading to work for the night tour at the firehouse. We were in the middle of a thunderstorm with heavy rain and vivid lightning. I got soaked going from the garage to my truck... and the distance was only about 6 feet max ( and that was the shortest distance bewteen two points.. I had already locked up the Casa DaGonz, if I went out through the mudroom/main entry it would have been about 15 feet and I would have gotten a hell of a lot wetter!)

Took the mach to the strip last night. We were going to fit my friends slicks on but they just barely rubbed the banjo bolt. Best was a 13.42 @ 106.89, 2.1 60' on street tires. Ran consistent 13.5s all night. Just couldn't get my 60 foots under 2.1 all night. I did make some cammed camaros and some mustang GTs feel bad last night though

took the beastie to the beach today and hung out with friends in the heat. This Mclaren was on display nearby…

Gabe, I'll let you know how my tinted fogs turn out. It's coming next week. For real this time. Although, I'm really mainly interested in the halo part which the COB LEDs come through nicely.

Kyle awesome! Which strip is that in Burlington? I'm sure you drive a lot faster than me. I'd be in the 14s or 15s lol. Also I'm sure yours sounded the best of all the cars there.
