It has a softer feel than the 2LT Mulan leather and it seems thicker. Probably closer to the 3LT Nappa leather actually. It also has some texture to it which the 2LT does not. The 2LT Mulan leather just seems hard to me. I'll take a couple of close up pictures tomorrow so you can see the texture.

Never heard of that. Does it help? Easy to do?

My body-color painted (Watkins glen greay) lower rear fascia (vents on the sides of the diffuser) came in from RPI. But, it's raining so I didn't actually 'do' it today.

Very nice. After much thought I want to change my seat color to Spice Red. I don't know if anyone makes that color cover. I also will do some of the interior in the same color ( center console cover, Dash pad, Door inserts) and I don't want any glaring mismatch.

Got a letter from the dealer that my car was imported from the states with NPP exhaust.

Thats how i avoided having my car impoweded for 3 months.

I just didnt think it would work.



My baby isn't wanted anymore.

Aparently a high ranked personal of the traffic department police was annoyed with the Cam and catless headers 😍😇😇

Threw my wife's duffle bag, my duffle bag (much lighter than hers) &(6) bottles of wine, all in the cargo area, and we're heading to Lake Placid for a nice long weekend -10th anniversary.

I gave my little blue Vette a good bath and detail. Amazing the number of things one can accomplish when one is retired.

I ordered a set of gray Lloyd's mats with the Stingray logo on them for mine! That way when the car arrives I can put them in right away

I took it for a little 400 mile spin and also installed a pair of GM exposed carbon fiber side splitters.

I added a Shark Bar, submarine bracket, and 6 point. Tested out my HANS and all is good.

Yea, it's 90 here so I got it washed, waxed, and detailed. Perfect way to put it away for winter.

Put my winter wheels on as my summer rubber is toast. Then decided to help my son out with my old 335i I gave him and installed a carbon fiber hood I have been working on for 5 long years that I never installed when I was driving it. Came out very nice!



Deciding if we will wrap the hood in alpine white leaving vents and center carbon fiber
