washed and waxed!











also, when i was at the store picking up some tire shine i spotted one of the RRM cars on the cover of import tuner:



RRM!

the pictures my girlfriend took are a little dark, but the lighting at this part of the car wash i was in was pretty crappy. these are the first real pictures of the car without the VII wing... i DO miss it, but not if it's going to fall down on me while i am driving, haha. i am glad the car is running good again after the injector issues the other day.

i used that spray on "nano wax"... it's alright. it takes less time than "real" wax--but i am not sure i like it as much. i will have to really examine the car tomorrow when it is lighter outside. i may change my mind.

the rims were FILTHY thanks to my carbon kevlar pads, but i had some rim cleaner which worked really well and i barely even had to wipe them off when i got out of the car wash.

i got the stickers from my friend when we put his S-techs in his WRX. i was like "THAT STICKER WILL ADD 10 HP! 12 IF I PLACE IT ON THE SIDESKIRT!".

hey, did you ever decide on different rims? if so which ones?

don't want to thread-jack ya, but since you asked... I ended up with the Nex-o ones from wheelmax. got them mounted on friday, but as I was mounting them, I noticed one of the wheels had a chip in the paint. So I called them, but they aren't open until tomorrow morning. I'm hoping it won't be a big deal. I'll try to post up some pics in my nex-o wheel thread

sweet. sucks that there's a chip though.

my rims aren't the prettiest things in the world... i only curbed it ONCE when i was making a tight low-speed turn into this plaza when i didn't have power steering. that was LAME.

well you wax to protect your paint and you wash it because a clean car always looks better than a dirty car unless you are muddin of course


that's why our cars look nice and some of the other cars on the road don't

Looks GREAT Atilla! Keep it clean brotha. Can we get some pics of the entire car though? I only recommend that you get an RMR type 1 lip. Cheers!
