Finished install of Corbeau seats. Transfer of Passenger Presence System took more zip ties than I thought. But, at least its 100% functional.

Put in my plugs. The originals came out of there far better looking than I expected, but nonetheless the car is idling a lot smoother now.

Bought a K+N recharge kit. maybe I'll do that tonight.

tinted the tail lights!



I think between the blue granite metallic, the white steelies, and the tails/sidemarkers, this surprisingly comes together pretty nicely. I love how it turned out.

Why debadge it, then get a COBALT 3rd brake light? I like that car, but to be honest that makes no sense to me.

Changed rear brakes, unseized the slider pins, tried to replace fronts, realized EBC sent me the Brembo pads instead of the regular ones. Murphys law I guess, the were free from EBC. Painted the rear calipers instead

It's not bad to do really......I wash the car.....then use the clay bar........wash the car again, and then wax since the claybar strips all the wax and stuff off.

When you get a claybar kit it should come with quick detailer or something with it. Just be sure and keep the surface lubricated when you are using the claybar. It's not too bad to do, just time consuming.
