"Bless me Father for I have sinned".
An $18 machine car wash at a local place here in Sarasota.
I was wanting to get the bugs off the front of the car, but we are in between places, having moved out of our Tampa Apartment while our house is finished up here in Venice next month. So I'm in a hotel situation. I didn't see a hose (all I need to wash the car) and thought, yeah, I'll just go find a highly rated car wash place and get it cleaned up.
Ugh. I should have turned around immediately. It had one of these "tracks" they push your car down, and worst of all it had those damnable "fingers" on the paint. I'll have to get my Griot's polisher out when we get to our new place and address any swirl marks it left. Geebus I am an idiot.
Never again.

I've been using Adams waterless wash for those situations and it works great. You can also make your own by buying the concentrate. You'll love their products.

I'm like 90% sure they are all just rebranded and slight reformulated ONR. But I'm a huge fan of rinseless washes so far.

Bought my car some paint...
For me it is amazing what some minor updates did to the car..very happy with the small investment as I finally got rid of some more of the ABS.
Painted my mirrors, window triangle, rear diffuser, and added (and painted) front sport lip. Also decided to put my letters back on. Picked up the car and the moment I saw the front spoiler I was..hmmm, this is good! LOL.

Great choice BlueShell. I live in Ontario, Canada and have seen various Augment manufactured wheels on local cars. The quality and workmanship is outstanding.

Yes -- they are very much the same design as the GT wheels although probably not as concave since the C2S is a narrow body. I'm having them installed later today so I'll report back soon with photos!

I currently have the 20" SportDesign wheels, and a bit of Google Fu seems to indicate they are 24.7 lbs on the front and 30.3 lbs on the back.
So oddly, I gained +1.3 pounds on the front and shaved -2.1 pounds on the back.
I'm going to weigh them myself later today during the install and report back. From what I hear, Porsche does a pretty decent job of having lightweight OEM wheels.
