Changed the serpentine belt today. Forgot to take a picture of it, but I am sure everyone knows what that looks like.

At least your left leg got some exercise. That clutch pedal pressure is pretty high on the 2015's. Too high for my aging legs. That's why I ordered an automatic.

I installed black-out film on the headlamps and fog. I did the side markers too, but there's really very little difference. I left the rear lights alone for now. I also installed a set of matte-black MMD tail lamp surrounds to match the deck lid rear panel.

The film is thinner than the amber tint from American Muscle, and the fog lamps were much easier to do and came out better. There are some minor imperfections in my installation but I can live with it.

My stripes were custom made and installed first by a company in Calgary, then modified by a wrap company in Abbotsford, Big Rig Wraps (BR Wraps)

Here ya go my friend.

I prefer the stock rear panel actually, and if my car was OTB (other than black), I would have left it alone. But the gloss black panel against the black paint would have made the stripes look incomplete since it would have been too difficult to trim them around the faux gas filler. At least on DIB and other colors, the broken stripe looks like it was meant to be that way due to the contrast of the panel against a non-black body color. I was afraid that on mine it would appear as if I forgot part of the stripe. The matte black trunk panel resolves that illusion, and the matte black light trim completes the blacked out look across the rear IMO. And I'm really digging the black headlamps and fogs.

Thanks Tony, but it still can't beat that nuclear reactor core meltdown glow of yours. I just happened to see a GHIG Boss 302 a little while ago. It's a great but dangerous color....makes for distracted driving that may cause accidents. It's not what tree hugging Prius owners mean when they want you to "go green".

You really need to post more pics....engine shots too.

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Go Green!!! lol I did it for the tree hugging Prius owners.
I'll try to get some new shots this weekend. Depending on the weather, of course.
The front end of your cars looks a bit meaner with the tint. I'm digging it.

Looking forward to more pics of Green Slime!!!!

I dig the black out thing too, but I think the chrome horse is a distraction now. Just may have to get a black chrome Running Pony to take the edge off.

A fella's work is never done.
