i'd be worth buying some plastic, cutting them to size, sanding them smooth and giving it a go.

Oh I should be clearer - it would have to drop down, and to the left (towards the driver). Mirror sits right below, if you position it correctly.

I'll have to spend a few moments in the car looking at that area, and maybe make a trip to home depot

Do it... I might just buy a razorblade

fullerton · 03-23-2007, 10:46 AM

You could just carve out enough dots for the suction cups to stick, and leave the rest of the dots. A bald-patch in the dots

Yep, yours is simple, but I can't live with dots

La Mer · 03-23-2007, 10:48 AM

Goo-Gone + blade =

I've been meaning to do it. I've just been lazy.

Zing!

I can't live with dots...on my car's windshield

I installed my COBB SS Brake Lines today, and filled her up with Motul RBF 600 Brake Fluid. Now I somewhat wish I went with the ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid because my original fluid was nearly perfect and it was hard to tell when I had bled it out.

Used a Motive Products Hydraulic Brake & Clutch Pressure Bleeder, and it worked amazingly well. I highly recommend the product.

I then claybar'd my summer goldies with 070's and threw them on. Went for a quick spin. The first couple stops were almost non-existent but the pedal quickly stiffened up and she was stopping violently quick. I missed my 070's!

I also put on my CG-Lock, and it seems like I will like this little toy.

I also got a helmet for an upcoming Auto-x earning event. Some Klasse All-in-one, some Poorboy's polish and some Mother's plastic polish. A tire brush, since i just wasn't digging the one i currently try to use, and the aforementioned CG-Lock.

One of these weekends I will:
Claybar
Poorboy Polish/Mother's Polish
Klasse All-in-one
Klasse Sealant x2
Wax x2

Then she'll be ready for summer! Interestingly enough, water still beads nicely from last summer's 2 coats of wax and 2 coats of Klasse sealant.

Is your car garaged?

Just finished doing the spring cleaning.

I washed her twice, clay bared, washed again, then Poorboy's Polish. Then 2 coats of Klasse AIO, followed by one coat of Klasse Sealant Glaze.

Took me 12 hours, but the paint is amazingly smooth and any hints of swirl marks are gone. This should last all summer, especially if I throw a coat or two of wax on in a month.

And now for the ridiculous amount of picts:
