Have any of you removed the trunk lip? I remember when I removed mine to put on the CF lip, I noticed the lines were pretty clean without anything and the car would look good (or better) just like that.

What's interesting is I didn't realize until a couple months ago, looking at Kouper's trip photos along the coast, that the convertible does not have a trunk lip. So, if you or anyone was curious, you can just pull up some convertible photos and see what they look like. I'm sure Kouper will enjoy me sharing pics of his car, too.

I actually like it better without the spoiler, it does look very clean. I guess that's a good thing, since mine didn't come with one! Interesting that they left it off the convertible...

Man that really sucks. I hope they make it right.

I think my "dirty car" is about the same as IEDEI's "clean car"!

That looks like it has a fresh coat of paint compared to my car right now. Can't wait to wash it if it gets above freezing sometime soon.

My car is hideous and almost totally white from salt. I refuse to take a picture of it.

Aw, c'mon mb, you're no fun... you have to play the game! Yours can't look any worse than IEDEI's.

Besides a snowy, salty car is a medal (or metal?

) of honor to be shown proudly as an indication of how much you really use your car year-round!

You and me both, brother! Salt is everywhere… outside, inside, on my clothes. All I can say is that lots of us are getting our money's worth out of our winter wheel packages!

We assume you had to sleep in your car for a couple of days, too. =P

One of my coworkers did sleep on I285. Fortunately I don't have to get on any interstate to get home. I left before noon when it all started and it still took me twice as long, only sliding a bit the last couple of miles.

Took a while but I finally found an automated HAND car wash. Car gets on the rails and moves along, the under carriage is washed by the machine but you have guys inside the booths washing your car by hand.

AGAV13 · 02-01-2014, 02:09 PM

The weather hit 40 degrees today so I finally got to go outside and wash it.

EURO-SCHNELL · 02-01-2014, 02:55 PM

my 2011, when I had it.

mb135is · 02-01-2014, 03:01 PM

Finally washed the IS.

After quick wash (also vaccuumed interior):

AGAV13 · 02-01-2014, 04:15 PM

mb135is what did you use on the tips? I want to purchase something to shine them up real nice. Mine are all scuzzy from the salt and grime.
