    Today was the day.

    Decided to peel it back today. What can I say besides the oem car cover working like a charm. She has been aging gracefully. I consider her retired but can take It out anytime I want to.
    Called my boy up since I had them Raceland's sitting. I'm a busy man these where well over due.

    God the install was cake! Talk about putting it off.

    While I was at it decided to buff out the oem visors.
    Before:

    After:

    I must say today was a good day.

    Washed.

    Waxed.

    The key to a straight body is parking in BFE!

    Weight Reduction.

    Detailed engine bay.

    EP3 Floor Mats.

    HFP Carbon Fiber Dash Kit.

    Thanks riceislame!
    Woke up this morning and replaced the front pads. Then to my scheduled appointment to get my hatch
    aligned. After the alignment decided to stop by my local Napa Auto to buy some Denso Iridium IK20’s. Then finished the day with a little wash and wax!

    Thank you Justanex1.
    You know I can’t complain. The price is what got me. My original set up was oem shocks/H&R springs until the shocks blew after one hundred and forty thousand miles. My intentions where to go after market shocks/H&R springs. The Koni Yellows where too much for this project car. The Tokico Blues where like five hundred and certain places wanted like six hundred something. I wasn’t a fan of the oem replacements (KYB). I came across the Racelands which are priced at three hundred sixty nine dollars for the complete set! Instantly called the company up and picked their brain. Did the Youtube research, did the online forum research and a lot of people where dogging them due to price back when they first came out. The way I see it everybody has to start out somewhere. Per my understanding the first generation ran about two hundred dollars and where silver with red springs. The set I received are black with red springs and also went up in price and believe are the second generation. I have no complaints.

    Thanks Ubeyo! I just used a polishing compound. Some pro stuff that my boy had laying around in his garage. Fyi I did not do it by hand I used a power buffer.

    GD I'm jealous of everybody that doesn't have to park their car on the street in a city. Wish my SSM looked that nice. Snaps

    Thanks for the kind words GooseGraves.
    You just have to watch out where you park. Respect and protect what you work for. My Ep hasn't always had the luxury of a garage.
