A good wash, clay bar, and wax always makes things look good. Then I take off the rims and clean those all the way and shine them up.
Looks good.

I was doing the same yesterday until I stepped on the hose nozzle and all the soap suds started to dry on my car LOL! I had just finished claying the car then that happened. Well anyway, nice ride! Did you buy those eyelids pre-painted or unpainted? What kind are they?

wrong

1. wash
2. clay
3. prep, swirl remover
4. polish
5. wax
6. enjoy

six simple steps to make your ride nice and smooth like butter. Claying and waxing alone does not do the job.

Oh. Does it make the car lighter?

^because when the sun hits the CF it gives it a brownish type of color, btw car looks good and are those the NIA fiberglass eyelids?

I cant afford carbon fiber. How much weight will I shed off if it take the gas lidd off completely? 190-200lbs?

That should give you about 10 horsepowers to the rear wheels.

You better get a super spoiler to keep your ___-end on the ground if you use a carbon fiber gas cap! Anything over 50 mph and the car can flip right over! haha

So if I get one my car will be 175lb lighter and have 160fwhp and 10rwhp. How much faster would that make my quarter mile? How much rwhp and saved weight would carbon fiber emblems give me?

Is the carbon fiber gas lid help my gas mileage too? Is the carbon more aero dynamic?

Yeah that's the extreme detailing order I do every few weeks. Most of the time I skip steps #2 and #3 unless running a hand of the wet surface feels rough. I need get a claybar for my tC and give it a once over soon.
