Default Been a big week, bought new seats, wrapped my halo, and detailing for Cruzin Colby!

I talked my wife into a new set of Corbeau Evolution X, fixed back, lightweight seats with red stitching only paid $1204 shipped with brackets, and nflatable lumbar supports in each very happy.

I also got bored the other day, and have had some gloss black 3M vinyl sitting around forever, so I deiced I would try to wrap my first part, and it turned out

I am currently in the middle of a 20 hour paint correction detail indoors for a big show on Monday, Cruzin to Colby in Everett (that clay bar was from 1/4 of my hood). It is an awesome show, usually with 800 fo 1000 cars there this coming Monday, Memorial day. If you get a chance, you really should at least walk around a bit, it is probably the best show in all of Snohomish county.

Life is good until your EBCM starts acting up oh well, I don't NEED traction control

Thanks I'm currently pulling all the wheels to wash and wax them, then repaint some of my more worn brake parts...does anyone else do that during a detail?

The interior looks like a C6. Those seat will be a huge improvement.

Looks good. Your rear wheel offset seems pretty aggressive.

Eric, are you doing the paint correction by hand or using buffer? Looking good so far!

All by hand. It was still in real good shape from the last time it got worked over, so I didn't need to do it mechanically. Last night I detailed out the passengers side all the way back, and the drivers rear fender, the hatch, and the targa top. Tonight, I will do the drivers door and front fender, and detail the interior, since the show is in the morning.

The rear is as wide as you can physically get it on a C5. The tire is 305, the rim is 11" wide, and the offset is +53, and it fits perfectly to the fender edge, but a bad angle will make it look awkward.
