Inspired by Kellen; washed it this morning at 7 AM barely 45° out / fastest wash ever; clay bar; two stage polish - now breaking for breakfast - then wax and vacuum. Just in time for the rain tomorrow.
Thanks! Going to the store then have to do my girlfriends land yacht, Lexus ES. Definitely will be more sore tomorrow. Using Griots system by hand.....
A BIG THANKS to rennlist member Ten Years for recommending me to change the Carrera script from a modern one to one that matches the Duck Tail - the script from the 70's. So here is the final rear end view of my '73 RS Tribute - originally a MY10 C2 w/manual trans and sport bucket. Hope you all will enjoy it!

That looks awesome!
Do you have matching Carrera script decals on the sides too?
T., that looks great! That really pulls it all together. Good size on it, too. I've been contemplating going duck tail, too, on my white car. Great look, overall. Cheers.
Ten Years - when you are ready, I can send you the script if you want (for your help on my project!). Just let me know.

T., I hardly did a thing; it was fun just bouncing ideas back and forth with you. Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know if I get there. ;-) Enjoy your car, in the best of health. Cheers!
Nice! Also, what wheels are those? Porsche? Avant Garde?
JCGMS - Thanks! I bought these from Design911 in the UK. They had the closest form to the original FUCHs IMO as compared to the other brands out there. Wanted the Sport Classic rims from Porsche but the off-set would not work correctly.

Ten Years - that's the enjoyment of modding a car. Time and patience! Enjoy it every step of the way!
I swapped out the button-shift steering wheel for the paddle-shift steering wheel, by following the excellent DIY instructions from "secondshot" at the link below:
I really like the look of the paddle wheel much better than the button wheel, plus I think the paddles will be better functionally. On my one visit to the track this year (PCA HPDE), I accidentally hit the buttons while steering. I think that will be less likely to happen with the paddles, but only another track session will be able to confirm that.

I did mine a few weeks ago (early Xmas Gift to myself) and love it. Makes it feel like a new car - maybe it will keep me from trading up a year or two. That is what I told my lovely wife anyway ...
