Snapped a pic for the heck of it.

We use the Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam, it foams up better than any of the other washes we have tired. Buy a gallon of that and you will be set for awhile.

And it smells awesome lol

Called alignment shop. They quoted 2 hours @$100 per hour for toe bolt install.

Looks like I'll be doing that part on my own this week. Rotary tool costs like $20-$50. Any advice from you guys on this?

either way, Friday is my alignment appointment, so before then I'll do the bolts. Hopefully it only takes me an hour or two.

Get some metal cross cut bits. They are aggressive but work really well! Also known as a deburrong bit.

Just ordered rotary tool $30 with 1 day shipping on amazon. Had good reviews so hopefully it works well.

Carbide Burs - Machining Supplies - Grainger Industrial Supply

These are very useful. The only downside is they get plugged up by aluminum. I cut the holes out for the intakes literally 2 minutes.

for me, removed the hood and fender clearbra that i installed a few weeks ago.

i didnt like the visible line. it stuck out like a sore thumb each time i walk into my garage and bothered the hell out of me.

oh well, $200 down the drain but at least i can enjoy looking at my car without being bothered.

That's the #1 thing that turned me off clearbra. Unless you do the entire car, the lines bother rme.
