My wife and I drove south on PCH Yesterday. Blasted The Eagles in memory of Glenn Frey.
It was a really nice day, and heading home the sunset was perfect.
Spent today fixing the mistakes of my body shop guy, excellent stone chip repair & DPR, but turns out to be not so up to speed on paint correction.
Only really noticed the swirl & buffer trials left behind when I was inspecting the car today after a full clay and IPA wipe down.
So out came the PC and my enthusiasm got the better of me, so removed the roof rails, broke a few clips along the way & then nearly had a heart attack when I found out that a small plastic clip costs $6! Anyway will replace all 10 of them as I can't see removing the rails ever again.
Wow. What a difference. Yes nothing is cheap on these cars.

removed the headlight washer nozzles and covered holes with plastic discs (upholstery fasteners?) from local autoparts. don't need/want chrome doodads disrupting the simplicity of shape.

First .... what a pain in the ***. Hindsight being 20/20 I wouldn't do this again. I am 75% there and out of steam. But it is in, secure, and never ever coming out again. Judge for yourself ...
Thanks to Onefastviking for the purchase.
Nice work... assume you had to remove seats and all? Not an easy task... I think for a pro they say 4hrs,,, diy can be double and triple that on some things. Congrats and looks great.
Bought it (technically two days ago). My first pcar after 10+ years of semi-seriously looking and 30+ of wanting.
2009 C2S w/ H&R springs, techart type III wing, turbo II style wheels, sports chrono, and a pile of other nice to have options (heated seats, nav, etc).
