Post Project - The car is finally clean

My car doesn't get treated to a full exterior detail too often.

It could use a clay bar and a good wax, but I need to fix a few dings in the paint first.

I had a guy stop by my car at the car wash and he got all excited when he was the front mount. He started asking all these questions and actually seemed like he knew what he was talking about... until I said it was AWD and he looked confused. Oh well. He liked the shiny parts.

Any butt dyno increase with the cams?

Is that a bra, or does it just need some paint really bad?

I need a 2-2.5" silicone coupler before I can give the butt dyno a good run. I'll be getting that part later this week.

I hit some black ice a bit longer than a year ago. I hit a hillside and destroyed the front bumper, stock SMIC, and both front wheel bearings and tie rod ends. I didn't have the money to get a new bumper at the time, so I pieced the front bumper back together with fiberglass and sheets of stainless steel. I then had to bondo over all the cracks. Since it looked hideous with all the bondo, I just spray painted over it all with a green color. It doesn't match the car, but at least it doesn't look like bondo. I'll be looking to pick up a new front bumper this summer. I didn't have the money to replace it last year, and I didn't want to risk ruining another bumper with a crash in the hell we called winter this year. It doesn't need paint really badly, it needs replaced.

Looks pretty good man. Try JNZ for that new and expensive 2GB Talon bumper.
