Washed my baby! (Supercharged emblems)

Here's some pics. Finally got some sunshine to wash her!





This one's my fav:








Supercharged emblems

damn clean!

I need to place a grill like this

[SLSduke82]

I thought the grill'd be tough to do. $30 APC grill from Autozone, some cardboard to trace out the grill, tin snips to cut it out. Pushed the little pegs right through the metal. Don't even need tie-wraps, but put em on anyway. All in all, an hour to drive-get the grill-cut-install. Instantly changes the look.

Supercharger emblems took about 10 mins to put on. Also change the look, and my RL gets even more curious glances...and, since putting em on yesterday, three races against three seperate ricers in Civics, who probably wouldn't have given me a second glance before. I don't get that--a normal Ion QC they might beat. But they see "Supercharged" emblems and want to race. Beats me. Not even worth posting. Wasted em.

I did the same thing with the mesh. The only thing I did differently was painted it a flat black, so it mathes the grill piece there already. It's such a subtle difference in look, you could stare at the car for an hour not realizing what was different, but know, that there was something you were missing.
