Nope, I think I have enough chrome spray paint to get the job done :D

Some guy decided that he could get his full size van across 2 lanes of traffic when I was going 40mph and 25ft away. Let's just say he didn't make it across the second lane, and got a whole mess of talon up in him.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

ouch.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Bump, installed a shiny radiator a few weeks back (more so necessity than for bling...but I went with a semi-bling one :D), and today I dropped off some stuff at Primo for polishing and powder-coating.

Sunday I'll start cleaning up the engine bay, lord knows it will take a week to clean this thing!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Ordered my clean stage 4 shep trans for the spyder that will be here Monday!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

I am trying to get the new top mount and gt40 on the car. waiting to get the turbo back. If it comes soon I can make the down pipe and lower fmic pipe. other wise the 50trim will go back on it :(

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

got the 97 front bumper on my 95 talon. Just need to take it back off after getting it fitted then painted!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

just raced a few cars..a BMW M5, and an S4..yep. Ready as is for the cookout. How's that for clean-up!? I'll wash it, but for once this bish is a DD and running strong!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

I did a little of this and that today :)

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Last night I shaved and painted my valve cover. Going to slap it on with a new gasket set today and then give it a wash the day before the cookout or something.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

so this claybar stuff whats it all good for and whats the best one?

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

A clay bar is a clay bar, they're all the same. All it is, is a piece of clay that you rub on your paint to remove any contaminates that have been embedded into the surface of your paint. It's usually a pretty good idea to run over it with a fine polishing compound when you get done to remove any fine scratches they can leave behind.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Yeah, after using a clay bar, you should get some polish and wax on there. The clay bar will take wax off.

A clay bar is a must for cars that sit outside a lot or get driven a lot. I've never used it on my Spyder or Stealth. But they barely even get wet. I've used it on my GSX before. It works wonders.

later,
Curt

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Someone was kind enough to drag their key down the top of my left fender, so I'm gonna try to sand and buff that out today. Luckily it didn't go through the clear coat.

I got a small pile of other stuff done by them, better bring your sunglasses!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

I am going to claybar, polish, and wax the car for the first time ever. I might not want to sell my car afterward.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

I am guessing that is a new battery box?

Is that polished aluminum or super shiney powdercoating?

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Got my Shep trans that looks bling.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Sanded that scratch out of my fender today, so it looks good now! But I'm still not sure if I'll still have it by the time Sunday rolls around... ;)

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Between all this rain and being so damn busy I've done nothing but drive the car this week. Gah! I better get busy cleaning....tomorrow.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Ah shit, I need to clean the interior up. There's gravel and dirt all over the floor in back from the last camping trip...

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

This rain has stoped me from doing my planed Blinging for the day. But The car will be Plenty blinged for the cookout.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

it going to be a close call if I get the evo back together now. let just say I am not really happy about it

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Oh no!

I just put on my tubular exhaust manifold yesterday!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Not going to make it, I'll still be there but my car won't be. My front left rotor and pads are uber bad, and I won't be buying new ones until next week. See you all there!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

You have to make it. I have a used rotor that is still good for you to throw on and just buy a cheap set of pads from orileys for now to make it to the cookout!

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

To clay, or not to clay? I've got Rosey hooked up with the products and info he needs, but now I need to decide how much I want to do to my car.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Brakes are over-rated.

In other news I got my left tail-light to work again and I unplugged my lower clutch switch this morning...bling bling! :P

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Yea just downshift till you stop, and ebrake it.

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Thats what the guy at the Buschur Shootout said...

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Truf. Maybe he didn't know the downshift trick peter mentioned? :P I know shane and jim know how to do it....

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?
 

Got most of the evo back together late last night and early this morring. Just have to have john redo the radiator upper out let tonight when I get home from work. That is the the only thing holding it from running now

Re: Who's got plans to bling up their hooptie for the Cookout?

On topic, I've got a nice surprise for my car that most of the people here don't know about yet... ;)
