Wash and gave it a coat of Meguiar's cleaner wax today. The car really shine, sat in the garage for 10 minutes admiring it. Finally installed the sports petals on the brakes. Had it on the accelerator and clutch for nearly a year now.

Sorry to hear that, I guess I'm not the only one, I've snicked under the plastic cover next to the pollen air filter and found a trail of these tiny creatures, installed ant baits including one under the passenger seat, hopefully this will do the trick..

My fronts are still original, but are getting close to needing replacement. Will probably get a new set of 4 tires in a few months, also thinking Michelin Super Sports.

Re-installed a carbon fiber door sill.

Originally installed a week ago, but I got one area slightly misaligned so it wasn't perfectly positioned. I feared removing the door sill might damage it, so lived with it for a week. But being a perfectionist, I couldn't stand it anymore and had to re-adjust the one area, even if it meant risking the chance of damage. Luckily the tape hadn't fully bonded and the re-install was a success. Now it's perfect!

That looks great! Was it difficult to find a power source for the light? and is that a leather wrapped center console? I want one of them.

P.S. I love the cocoa interior

I used Hawaiian Tire in Aiea. They are the only shop I know that has a Hunter Road Force balancer. They are a Tire Rack approved installer, had the tires shipped to them.

Appreciate the tip! I may give them a try when I'm ready.
