well just installed the mud flaps... here's what they look like as if you havent seen before.. dont mind the dirtyness.. im cleaning her in a few minutes right before i go to work..

[Blup]

Them's some manly looking mudflaps! Looks great!

[slyguySTI]

i think its coming together just the way i pictured it.. minus an all black interior, but that might never happen.. just waiting to get my front lip and RCE blacks and i should be good for a lil while..

[slyguySTI]

oh ya i forgot to mention.. i usually go around corners pretty fast while im driving and today i tried to take an s-curve and my car slid out from under me and i think its telling me to change my tires soon as they are on the wear bars. what do you guys think should i wait to change them out just a lil longer or just change em..i have a brand new set sitting in my shed. My logic to not having changed them yet is because im still on the stock RE070 and i have 21500 miles and theyve lasted quite some time and i wanted to get all i can out of them before i throw them out.

Are they bald or just to the tops of the wear bars? if its just the bars i would say you could use em a little longer, but beware of bad tread wear that might reveal some belts or something.... safer than sorry answer is to change em, but i would think you could go a little longer...

Car looks good btw

[slyguySTI]

thanks and ya they are just at the top of the wear bars.. i also think they can last a lil longer or i could go take some back roads and waste em down a lil bit or go into a parking lot and burn em up.....HEHE

Mud flaps look really nice, almost like they are color matched to the car. Stock Re070's ftw!!!!!! Put almost 20k miles on mines, and they still had more to go. Traded them and the BBS' for my Volks though with RT-615 Azenis man those things are grippy

Im about to pull of my stockers and they have plenty of tread left

[slyguySTI]

ya thats what i have sitting in my shed are some 255/40 for the stockers so ill just wait a lil bit more, and i think your right about the mudflaps they do kind of match the car...

[slyguySTI]

man i love these flaps, i drove about 230 miles today and still have a 1/4 tank of gas and no dust really on the back of my car.. they def block a lot of crap, they are the best investment to keep my car clean so far...

Man i hate Kentucky.. I just bought a new Orbital Buffer from Sears last night and decided to give my car a nice polish and right after i put the wax on the whole car a stupid thunder storm rolls in and now my car is getting pissed on as we speak with wax all over the car.....GRRRRRR

Rant almost Over!!!

That blows dude..... we have similar issues w/ the weather being completely unpredictable in Colorado.... i washed my car on thursday, went for a drive and managed to drive under a rain cloud that lasted less than 45 seconds, but was dirty dirty water.....

same thing happened friday, so i washed it saturday and it hasnt left the garage yet lol

[slyguySTI]

well after starting to wax with my new orbital buffer and after applying the wax, it starting thundering and lightning so i had to wait... here is the finished product after the rain stopped... keep in mind it was a quick wax job because i didnt know if it was going to rain again.... on with the pics..

here is what the hood looks like after the wax.


and here is the rest of the car...





and the whole car.. i know i suck at taking pictures.. i just have a 3.1mp sony ..

[Bishop]

Our cars look the same kinda.... i took off my grill stripe and i dont have the foglights

did you clay bar wax and polish?

[slyguySTI]

nope just a quick wax to test out the new orbital buffer from sears.. i used meguiar's NXT tech wax.. didnt come out too bad. i do have the 3 step paint system from meguiar's and the mothers clay bar kit along with the turtle wax clay bar and wax thing too.. just did a quickie today though..
