Chris thank you very much for the pictures. The techture actually matches up nearly perfectly with the paint on the Roll Hoop but as noted it is slightly glossier. I still may give it a shot.

I just finished using Menzerna Super Finish Plus on the paint, the results in person are spectacular. The reflective qualities and depth are finally at a level I’m happy with. I may haves to give it a shot on the Spyder to see what happens.

Dual Action Polisher using a blue finishing pad and a high speed setting (5) with medium/light pressure. The Menzerna definitely needs more time to work into the paint and break down the abrasives compared to Meguiars but the results are also better. Its the first time I have used a polish that doesn’t leave an oily residue behind.

It took some time but I was finally able to source a nice used set of speaker covers to replace the gaudy covers one of the PO’s installed. Knowing I might run into an issue I also sourced a used set of old schools MB Quart woofers which were in great condition through Autobahn. That was the right decision, the Polk speaker frames were too large to fit into the speaker cover backing plate so the Quart’s were installed. Interesting that it actually sounds better with the old speakers.

Next up is the headunit, my new one arrives Monday and I’m hoping to finish that project by next weekend.

Nice job MB, I prefer the stock look of speaker covers. What head unit do you have coming?

Thanks! I also prefer the stock look, bonus was the better sound.

I bought this last week from Crutchfield

I haven’t updated this thread in a while, here are some updated pics showing off the new RUF Wheels. I do plan on changing out the RUF caps for a set of Porsche Caps at some point.

Thanks! I’m a bit of an anomaly, I actually enjoy detailing and I have learned over the years what to do to improve the various surfaces of a car. I also learned that the little improvements details matter so I make a point to make everything right.

Udo thank you for the link, I had not seen this! The headunit really does fit the dash perfectly but the lighting is completely off. It’s a white LED color while our dash lights are the pale yellow so at night it stands out like a sore thumb. I don’t drive much at night so I don’t notice it but I have already provided feedback to Clarion and they have sent it off to their team as a future improvement/change. Nice to see a company actually listens! Long story short I will wait for the next iteration and sell my current one so the lights match up, then I’ll give this mod a shot!
