Clayed it. Then compounded 2 areas that needed correction with Meg's #105 and polished the whole car down with Megs #205.
After that was done I did an ONR wash. Tomorrow I'll do an IPA wipe down and then apply Opti-Coat.

Installed my new Apex EC-7s with Hankook Ventus V12s last night. Fronts are 18x8.5 ET 45, 245/35/18 and rears are 18x9.5 ET 58, 265/35/18 with 5mm spacers. Was expecting the fronts to rub some based on some of the forum feedback I read but I'm happy to say I'm getting no rub anywhere. Suspension is bone stock (for now) but I'm thinking I might not install my Dinan camber plates since I'm not rubbing. Still going to install the M3 bits to improve handling/feel. Love these wheels!
Here's a quick pic I took this morning before heading off to work (sorry for lame phone pic and filthy car): Last edited by drufe; 04-10-2013 at 03:52 PM.. Reason: Forgot to put wheel offset and use of 5mm spacers in rear |

Powder Coated the stock 261 Wheels. Semi Gloss Black about the same gloss as the shadow line trim. I'm really happy with the results. It was over cast when I took the picture so its hard to see the gloss.

I took off the cover and let it see day light for the first time since December. Hoping for some nicer weather here so that I can get it out for the first time this season.

Next week I am installing ST coilovers, B&B muffler delete exhaust, 19x8.5 and 19.95 Beyern Bavaria rotary forged wheels, and a GIAC flash. Added black grills up front and debadged the car first thing. Should be pretty clean. I am sort of going for a motorsport/OEM plus look.

I know there is a metal clamp missing, the stock one wasn't big enough. However, it's on there pretty tight as it is for now until I can get a bigger one. Anyway, my dad and I spent a few hours putting this intake back on yesterday. I love hearing my turbo again.
