I spent almost 4 or 5 hours keeping it clean. Went to pickup my girl who lives on a dirt road so I figured I'd wash it the day after...the wash ended up with a wash, wax, buff, wash again, wax again polish all chrome cuz I have the cs and then tire shine, leather conditioner, interior cleaner, interior protector, vaccuming, and I cleaned the windows at the end....ya theres a lil bitartrate OCD in there somewhere o_o

Just installed a cheap polyurethane Nismo style front lip, unpainted. I like it more than I thought I would. I had to buy a heat gun when I installed it because it was slightly warped. I used a jack to prop up the driver's side corner, heated it up and set it overnight. Now I have to do the same for the passenger side but it's not as bad.

Thanks, the specs are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 all around. I'm thinking about spacers but don't know which ones to get yet (haven't measured) because since I switched from a 285/30 in the rear to a 275/35 the sidewall looks like it could be more flush with the fender well even though I had to roll the rear fenders when I switched( because they're taller?).

Of course, these are Volk LE37's and I had them completely refinished last summer. They are near flawless. I'm also considering a trade or just selling them outright to get something else. While I love them to death there are some others I'd like to try. So many decisions

Please don't take offense to this as I think your car looks super clean and well put together. Everything on your car is top notch with the Volks and Stoptech brakes, I think the ebay lip really cheapens the overall look IMO. That is probably the most recognizable and abundant lip out there. I had the real Nismo V1 lip and it looks nothing like the ebay one.

Cleaned the remains of hurricane irene off her. Full exterior wash & some vaccuming along with cleaning out the hatch and throwing in a few black ice air fresheners.


Gotta keep her clean and smelling good.

No worries brother. It's not a permanent solution. I had a nicer VIS style lip on it before, painted silver to match the car but with the center section blacked out to match the roof and the grill. Unfortunately it got ripped off and I never got around to getting a proper new one. In stead I've been adding to my suspension upgrades and just got new rubber for my wheels that were in storage for the past year. I got tired though of seeing the front looking beat up so I got this as a temporary fix. It was cheap and easy to install but sometime before the end of the year I'll get an Aerosync or maybe a V2 or Do-luck front. I appreciate the comments though. It's all good.

Took off the headlight tint that came with the car. Just couldn't take it anymore, drastic difference in nighttime visibility.
