Default Zunsport Grills

I installed Zunsport grills on my 2005 last weekend and got time to take a few pics today.

This is a lovely looking car. Well done.

Do you have an exhaust on it as well?

Left work early and spent the last 6hrs detailing... First time with a orbital. Surely not any easier than by hand. Maybe I need more practice. Results are so so... But the swirls are gone

Your lip looks great, how do you keep it like that? Mine has some chips, might need to get it repainted.

A DA polisher (orbiter) should make your life a lot easier. I can't imagine compounding and polishing by hand without my Rupes. The key I found out is to have good lighting and just let the polisher do its job. I detail mine every 6 months and found it very relaxing for the love of it.

Just changed my plugs. Very easy and straight forward. Plugs I pulled actually looked pretty good, but now it is so much smoother. No coil cracks or anything. No rusted hardware either, knock on wood.

Replaced the cabin filter, detailed the interior and drove 80 miles on some nice roads. A nice day of bonding.

Replace air and cabin air filters
Replaced rear tail light housings (reflective material inside was starting to flake off)
Finally remove a rounded over spline lug nut (PO tried to get it off with a regular socket I think) and finished replacing with black lugs - btw, the 19mm one in the set worked great -

Took her for the first spring mountain drive. Rolled over 50k mile mark while out in the twisties near Blue Ridge Parkway. Didn't spend any time on the parkway itself, as the nearby roads are much better. But did pop up there for a photo op.

Great pic. I topped 50K in that same vicinity, down near Tail of the Dragon. Great looking car...T
