Pulled my plugs, dos a plug reading. Scoped in the cylinders. Just trying to see how she feels. Swapped my high beams back to a bright white/blue color. Checked oil. Debating on when I'm doing all my fluid servicing for rear diff and transmission.
I went to a local paint shop to get a quote for my jdm bumper today. They quoted me 300 for 2 stage paint rally/Phoenix red and the paint for the diffuser. They also told me they would blend the paint on the quarter panels so that whatever fading has happened to the car over the years won't make the bumper contrast too much. They said an extra 100 for the install. What do you guys think? 5 yr warranty.
That's not bad. I paid 400 for my paint (did include my vortex gen too) and got quoted 300 for JDM bumper install which included rivet drilling, crash beam mod, and lic bracket mod. Decided to install all brackets myself with new hardware from STM and got all JDM hardware parts too so the only thing they have to do is mod the crash beam and drill/tap the JDM Lic plate holder onto the crash beam. Should save money but not necessary to go this route.

That's a pretty fair deal, which shop did you go to? I might look into them when I go ahead and get my JDM bumper too!
Been cleaning my engine bay. Trying to get in lots of the hard to get places. Cleaning just to do it. And added some bling today. On top of my front damper adjusters, I put my old windshield wiper arm caps for when I used to not have wipers. Just a little something else to look at that I haven't seen done.

Also been swapping random bolts throughout the engine bay for hex head bolts to clean it up some.
