Rep Power: 253 Nice job in cleaning the engine bay.
I was cleaning the engine bay today but I couldnt get it as clean as that. Then I gave up, my engine bay area is covered with rustproofing ****...

Rep Power: 322 I used just regular car wash soap to wash it down, but I used a soft bristle wheel brush to scrub it all down. To shine it I used a product called Pig Spit
I also did a mild polish on the exhaust heat shield. Not bad for about 30 minutes worth of work

Some of it is the depth that I go into cleaning, but most of it is that stuff. I know Wal-Mart sells it. This is the stuff they use at used car dealerships around here to make the engine bay look like new. Great stuff

I finally ordered an RS grille with yellow emblems today, so I'll have to be slappin' that on once I get it. I'll also be painting my wheels white within two weeks (hopefully)

Rep Power: 322 I haven't taken any pics of my car yet with that, because I'm not done molding the RS grille to the radiator cover. I still have some more sanding to do to make it look seamless, and then I'll take some pics. That and I need to wash my car hella-bad

Rep Power: 322 I think what i'm going to do is paint two of them white, and then two of them black and see which side of the car I like more.

Rep Power: 322 Heh, Haven't posted in this thread in a while. Looks like people like black wheels on my car, and it turns out they're growing on me too. I need to find an acceptable set of cheap wheels to put on while these ones get sandblasted and painted. Oh yeah, I did a new headlight mod, turned out great, but I need another set of alternate amber inserts to test out another way to do it. I'll post pics of the final product when I get ahold of a real camera.
