Late this week: Black Flash badges and Z06 grill (with cameras) replaced stock grill and chrome badges. Looks great.

^^^ How hard was the grill install and how long did it take you? I have had my Z06 grill for about two weeks now and still haven't installed it. I have watched all the videos and have a good idea of what needs to be done. Just something about taking off the front bumper makes me nervous. By the way your car looks great.

My car sat all week, I was on a business trip to snowy Ainsworth Nebraska. I missed all the seventy five degree weather, came back as the cold front hit. Just dusted the car, will be driving it to Church, top up!

It's beginning to warm up, so I added a pound of air to each tire.

I have been trying my best not to order the ACS aero kit and those pictures are not helping me! Looks great.

I finally got off my lazy *** to start my recoating project.

Strip washed and clayed yesterday. Got through thoroughly polishing the car with Meguires M105 today. Tomorrow is finish polishing with Meguires M205, followed by Blackfire Crystal Coat.

I'm going to put a product I haven't tried on top of the Blackfire - Chemical Guys Black Light. I'll see how that goes.

Then I'll pull the wheels for a thorough cleaning and seal. Then it's supposed to rain for a week.

Swapped from w/out to with homelink visor. No room in the car as it is, no need to carry a separate garage opener too. 10 minute job. Remove roof (not necessary, but easier), remove trim plate, undo 3 screws, unplug wire, reverse process to install.
