Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Totally off topic but I am researching it while in the GXP. I keep seeing a Twin Supercharged Mercedes here in ICT and I'm trying to figure out what model it is.

The prep work is what really makes the paint pop.

No since I already was on paint side at the school I don't get to paint it... just do all the prep

Made a diy cone intake and flipped the dog bones, then tested it out.

Got my fuel rails in the mail today. I see an intercooler in the near future

Said **** cause I went to go get in my car and realized my drivers side Turbo Grand Prix badge fell off. Back tracked my driving path and couldn't find it. Looks like I'll be hitting up eBay.

got my tips welded on

Painted the anchors/reinforcement bars again. Added anodized red on top. Didn't really try to make the bumper-to-fender anchors look too pretty cuz they will never be seen anyway except by me. The reinforcement bars however I did take my time on so they were nice and purty. Might do something neat with that red on my grills. Gonna test the broken ones first though lmao

You need better pictures, that just doesn't show off how nice the Anodized Red Top Coat looks on a Metallic Silver base. I love the look. Did my calipers the same way, but they have faded over a couple years and now look orange, need to redo them this spring.

next time I need brakes I need to get the low dust pads. Keeping these clean is a pain. This is about week of driving.

Well the sun was down so all I had was the ****ty house lighting. Bought some more anodized red top coat and am going to test it with my broken grills and see how it looks. May accent the engine bay like you did that looks beautiful

Still prettier than my rims. Gonna sandblast Monday if I have time

Cool, take some pictures.

Took the 17x9 Konig Villains I have down to the tire shop to get the worn out tires dismounted off of them for ease of storage of the rims. I might powder coat them before I get any tires remounted.
