Title explains all. Didn't have my camera and had to use my dads crapola. Pics were taken by Lake Erie in Cleveland, OH.


Painted the gauge thingy



Made it blurry on purpose

I used to have a Civic that was modified I/H/E, springs.
I only did small stuff to the tC. Headlight bulbs, LED license pl8 lights, painted the gauge cluster silver, Alpine deck, smoked top part of taillights, changed the shiftknob, LED dome lights, Python pager alarm.
Currently waiting for eyelids from bluebat.
The only thing I wanna do to the tC is to get coilovers. That's about it.

looks great. I'm thinking about clay baring mine some time in the next week or two. I take it you gotta rub every square inch of paint? any tips for a first timer?

Well this might be more than you ever wanted to know about claying but here you go:

http://autopia.org/forum/guide-detai...-cleaning.html

Main things to remember are:
1. Make sure to use lots of (either) clean soapy water or detailing spray, don't let the car get dry while you're claying.
2. Always make sure to fold the clay so that the "dirty" surface gets folded over so you always have a clean surface. Don't ever clay with one side and flip it over to use the other side!
3. If you drop the clay on the ground... it's a goner. It will pick up microscopic grit on the ground that will marr your paint's finish no matter how good you think you've cleaned it off. So be careful not to drop it cause you'll have to throw it away!

Happy reading!

man i hate front licence plates. (not hating on yours I know its the law in some states)

I had a BMW and the cops would ALWAYS pull me over for no front plate. I asked the cop if he would ruin the front of his BMW with screw holes and he let me go =)

No front plate on my tC either

I didn't have a choice, by the time I got to the dealer to pick up my car they had already drilled the holes. I know it's the law here but at least give me a choice. I dunno if they know this but there license pl8 re-locators.
Damn those bastards
