Which reminds me, I still need to rep you for your help from that day. Just did it now, but forgot to sign my name.

Talk to birdmanx1, he has a Nismo dropped on swifts with the same exhaust. I don't think he really has that many issues with scraping.

Yup no issues at all, you just need to be careful not taking huge speedbumps. You'll actually scrape the bottom part of the front bumper more than anything else.

Hate when that happens! Luckily I have no visible damage....so far.

Update on my headlight blemish: Have an appointment with Kevin at D&V Saturday, 10/6 to buff it out. Will post pictures afterwards.

Silver Lining:
Put the allweather cover on the car last night and decided to perform the condensation "acid test" and left it out in the rain.

No condensation at all this morning.

(woot)

eastwest2300 · 09-28-2012, 11:20 AM

Thats awesome man, but the REAL test would be spraying your engine bay down with a hose, then testing it, thats how you really find out if you did a good job with that sealant. Thats what i did.

b1adesofcha0s · 09-28-2012, 11:42 AM

My car's been through all the days of rain we've had and goes through that car wash every day at work. Luckily no condensation.

I've also realized that the headlight damage is not really noticeable if you're not paying attention to or looking for it.

Wouldn't that be true for anything if your not paying attention to it? Especially if you aren't looking at it. Fat chicks can be sexy....if you don't look at them. See where I'm going with this?

I meant that even when you're looking at the front of the car, you might not notice it unless you're looking directly at it. You can't tell from a distance either and probably not on the road.

Its unfortunate though, because everything else besides the burn blemish, looks fantastic on your lights. That goes for DM's lights too.
