Superhubs from Golis Machine are in as well as the new VC.
Had an IACV issue on the way home so gonna squash that this week with a new one, gasket, TB o-ring, and new TPS sensor.
She's been so reliable I sometimes forget she's 18 years old and needs little parts here and there.

Especially when you daily a 26 year old car.
That has been turbocharged.
And lowered.
And otherwise modified as all hell.

Infra Red looks so damn good in person.
This color has really grown on me.

This @griotsgarage spray on ceramic wax is ridiculous.
It has no business being this easy to apply, looking this good, and lasting this long.
I applied this quite awhile ago and this car is daily driven.

Well I finally got around to swapping my cluster bulbs for LED units and it looks mint.
It's only a little bit brighter but they look really nice.
That being said I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze as far as effort to pull the cluster out of there and all that entails.
So won't be doing this mod to my other two unless a bulb burns out.
It's a very fiddly job.

Here's the tally:
1 screw lost behind the lower dash (and eventually found)
1 broken plastic tab
100% reuse of factory sockets
1 incandescent bulb exploded upon extraction
20 F bombs
10 C words (which have been forbidden in my house)

You'll notice I marked each socket with a small red dry board mark to make sure I didn't forget any as I went along.

Also you might notice I wasn't able to swap out the bulb for the airbag as it is soldered to the motherboard of the cluster and I ain't that big of a nerd to care.
Plus, it's a factory LED not an incandescent bulb so I'm not concerned.

Last pic is how it looked factory.

Car is now fully tuned. Thank you Matt at @kaiser_motorsports_ for knocking it out of the park.
It really has transformed the car.

Paint correction done.
Infra Red (Vermillion E4) is a very forgiving color.

This is unedited and filter free.

New drip rail moldings installed, super easy to do and really lifts the car.

Not much to do on this girl this year as she's pretty much perfect.
Knee deep in the other two though...

Grille restoration went beautifully.
All that's left is to add a replica Hofele badge that I have in the works from @sinisbuilt
Should look amazing when I'm done. by @04st170

Redid the driver's side as I was unhappy with it.
Here's some progression shots.
It's a ton of work.
I knocked it back to 600 this time.
Then 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, cutting compound, polish, ceramic coat.
Not for the faint of heart.
