-Washed it
-Polished out the headlights, scratch on fender, swirls on A-pillars, and swirls on gas cap
-Followed it up with a sealant
-Washed it again to get all the residue off

Well you guys know, I've always chosen mods that not all will agree with. It's all about experimenting for me and what fits my style. It's a mix match of parts: tcs base, custom ball joint, cbr600 mirrors. I kind of like them for now, my inbetween project until I can get the long term V2 done. The cool thing is, I can change them out to almost any sport bike mirror I want. lol

Tried doing the idle reset during lunch. Sat there for 45 minutes trying it. **** doesn't work. I'm not stupid and the procedure is pretty simple I think. Couldn't ever get the SES light to start blinking, which means I'm not doing something right. Anyone got any input on this? I've heard the seconds have to be spot on. I've just been counting it out so maybe I need a damn stopwatch for it. Let me know if there is more to it than this...

Operation Procedures
1. Perform “Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning”.
2. Perform “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning”.
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Turn ignition switch “OFF” and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Conform that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and wait 3 seconds.

6. Repeat the following (steps 7a, 7b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds:
7a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD)
7b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.

8. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the Check Engine Light (CEL) stops blinking and turned ON.
9. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the CEL is ON.

10. Start engine and let it idle.
11. Wait 20 seconds.
12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure the idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications.

Great for washing the car because all the water just rolls right off

Kudos for doing something different, I have always been a fan of the APR's myself

Today while on a drive through the country, I noticed that my rear tires were dirty. A 200 foot rolling burnout through 3 gears seemed to clean them very nicely. The thought still brings a smile to my face.

Under 60 I want to say, some of the parts I already had around for a few years.

Vertex lip kit, I have the full kit but am only running the front. Putting it all up for sale once I get the V2 done.

got new (used) tires in great condition and then realized they're technically for minivans, oh well they will do for now until I upgrade the wheels
