It was pretty lame to be honest,
I mean there was toons of cars, a few lambos, ferraris and an aston, tons of evos sti's and other ricers

it was just a meet, no venders, no models

civicchick2001

well the no models sux..

(that's one good thing about Nopi in atlanta, plenty of em around ) haha

still though, gettin to see all the cars is pretty cool. been too long since ive been out and about like that. miss it..

MindBomber

I don't even care about the models at car shows/meets

I just want to see the cars.

Civicchick I got my new headlight bulbs, I will stick em in soon and throw some pics up for you.

civicchick2001

oh sweet! cant wait to see what they look like

civicchick2001

oh i dont care about em, i just care about the cars.. but im not gonna deny that seein em there aint bad .. the only ones that really annoy me are the ones standing all around a car ur tryin to get a pic of.. lol otherwise, they aight

Since we were talking about clay/wax/detailing before

Thought you might be interested in how a super shiny, glossy detail looks like,
I even included a smoothness test with a penny + nickel

daayyum.. its hard to make a white car have a shiny mirror finish too! good work!! i cant wait to get the claybar and wax kit! im thinkin next week! i washed mine today too and it felt like crap even after i was done washin it.. i was dryin it off with a towel and it was just rough feelin.. so its definetly time for a wax, but im gonna do the claybar first.. and im hoping i get that mirror finish too cuz that blue pearl just POPS in the sunlight..

if u threw a penny on my hood.. it stay right where u dropped it. lol.. ima try that test when im done doin it when i get all this stuff

im so happy i got the LEDs in! they look so good too! cant wait to show ya pics

Lopes101

Put them in today and they look great, NO blue tint whatsoever, I don't think its worth a picture for you, but they are good bulbs, they also sent me lights for my license plate lights for free! so I am very happy.

Yep,
It's super sexy from about 5+ feet away...

But any closer, you'll see all my rock chips, and faint hairline scratches/swirls

I really need to buff and polish, but I dont have a rotory buffer. If I do it by hand, it'll take all day + a jello arm and not nearly as nice finish

civicchick2001

i know what cha mean bout that.. im hopin that claybar will help with a few of those marks on my car. not scratches, but theres a few spots that i think it'll help. i saw some dude on youtube use a claybar to get a scuff mark completely off.. nothin that big for me, but worth a shot if im doin it anyways. still though, looks good!

MindBomber

I don't even clay bar and wax any more, the rock chips drive me crazy if I spend more than a minute looking at them. Just a quick wash for me until I learn to paint cars

civicchick2001

yeah.. they drive me nuts too.. not to mention, i dont know if u could tell from those pics i had up, but my windsheild has a nice crack all the way from one side to the other.. on the bottom part. i hate it. it started off as a chip, and now. ugly. i need it replaced asap.

civicchick2001

well cool, im glad your happy with them and what they sent ya! i think my next light project is gonna be ordering and putting in the blue LED dome lights ive been wanting. one for the back, one for the front, and im gonna get that ice white color for the "map" lights on the sides of the dome in the front and also that color for my license plate light.

do you know what color the lights they sent you free are?

Lopes101

I have one of those as well, Its not crazy bad, but bad enough, not changing it though. I got it safetied with it. Love small towns :P

civicchick2001

luckily its at the bottom of it and doesnt bother me when i drive, but still.. i'd like to have a new one. :/

Lopes101

ya for sure, safety first right?!?!

civicchick2001

right lol

civicchick2001

i was thinkin about buying a little $5-$9 chrome exhaust pipe cover.. would that be lame? lol.. the stock one is just so ick.. and i have chrome on the back part of my car, so it'd match.. but would it look goofy? lol

iTrader: (95)

honda makes one too but its prolly more expensive. they have gold and chrome. www.handaaccessories.com

lowlife9

you can pick up a buffer and foam buffing pad for 30 dollars at harbor freight tools usually the buffer is on sale for 20 bucks i have one and it works good.

civicchick2001

yeah, its like $20 from that site, thanks for lookin out for me though

do you think that would look lame? i think it'd look aight, at least til i got a real exhaust anyways..

civicchick2001

what is that? never heard of a "buffer".. (sorry.. still learnin lol)

lowlife9

buffer, polisher, orbital buffer same thing.

civicchick2001

haha my bad.. thought you were talkin about some sort of different kind of tip or something.. lol

would a chrome tip look lame? (honest opinion)

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

It'd look cleaner imo, not rice.

It'll just look like the accord with chrome exhaust tips
