Funny, I think I get more dust with the stage 2.

I drove it though some pretty hellacious rain today in Austin.

That was the bad news; the good news is that all the salt that was on the car from the 1700 mile trip (think snowy mid-Atlantic) is now completely gone.

My car is no longer white.

Oh, Oh...haven't driven it anywhere yet to try them out. It's raining here as usual..I was basing my theory from the results of a recent road trip with a GS coupe with stage 2. That car was much cleaner on the rear than my GS convert with stage 1. Maybe I need to get a coupe.

I have a half mile of all weather gravel to traverse. The dust swirls much more with the stage 2 and gurnee than it did with the stage 1 the car came with. The stage 2 also increases the lift over for anything going into the cargo area.

Working on my lower bumper piece I just got in C.F. for the rear bumper. Plus going to black out my exhaust tips also.

Haha..are you referring to the shoe rack? One thing Ive learned never mess with your wife shoes and bags.
Its more of a trade off Robert had no choice. Took me lots of act of congress to get approval on this garage!

If only you’ve seen it before the make over. You understand! Lol

Yanked the seats out. My project of swapping to competition seats has officially kicked off. Got the kit from Gene at Cultrag.

I drove it!
It was 58 degrees here today. Have to go in for back surgery soon, so might not get the chance for a while.

Nice taste! Now get the carbon flash fish to finish the look.

Lowered my car on stock bolts (pics before lowering) and painted my chrome wheels with Duplicolor Red Metalcast anodized paint. Front came out perfect, rears had runs so I had to remove it all with acetone and repaint. Looks even better in person than pictures.
