hey, tirerack's having a $50 gift card special again on snow tires. woot!

 

drove my '12 to work today. ofcourse i tested the new (well, not exactly new since from my G) horns under an overpass where no one else was present. sounded like an infiniti. hahaha.

butthead drivers everywhere this am. one slammed on his garbage-lebaron brakes infront of me in the left-turn lane cause this frikken loser wasn't paying attention to traffic infront. i could've stopped, but since im still breaking in the car i swirved out of the way and went around him. i missed my turn, but i still made it to work on time so who cares. i realized afterwards, i should've used my new horns! hahaha.

another suv kept changing lanes in front of me too. didn't look like he was trying to cut me off or anything, just a stupid driver not paying attention to anything around him. i am sure he will crash into a tree soon.

 

so im thinking about getting a few #74 bulb sockets since i have like 8 LED's still left. want to use it for something... like perhaps in the middle cup holder area or something.

i was happy to see that the blue LED i put in above the cupholder was looking good this early am.

 

but then again, these LED's are pretty much suppose to last the life time of the car.... so i should just solder leads to it like i did for the ignition. in this case i would leave about 2" of extra lead and solder the LED to the wire. if the LED failes in the future, i can just cut the wire and crimp a new one in.

what to do with the $5 i just saved...

 

woot, gotz my tracking number for the clearbra rolls for my '12 GE and 370Z.

should have them in my hands in about a week's time. perfect if i can get it before LaborDay Weekend since i have a day off work. in the mean time, i think i will make templates for the lower part of the bumper for the GE.

 

humm.... looks like everyone went back to school this week for college.

very quiet here on the forums and on the streets.

checked out my '12 through the office window. looking great. can't wait to drive it home in lighter traffic. hahaha.
tomorrow looks like it's going to be sunny. if not too hot, i think i will drive the G to work.

 

i realized today that i dont like my stock grill.

so i think im going to swap it out with the sports grill later on.

 

I dont think theres anything to swap to on a 2012. Its a different bumper and grill

 

really? dang... thanks for the info! i guess i will wait a little bit for other options!

 

You could change out the bumper and grill and run a 09-11 bumper and mugen grill.

 

yah, i personally like my 09's bumper better, but i dont feel like spending a lot of money on this car so i will just wait for the time being.

 

Ha! Me too.

 

why you guys pict on me? hahaha!!

 

some people can f-king go to hell....seriously. not even 2 weeks old, i find this when i get to my car.



well, my finger nail barely caught the scratch, so this is a big f-k you-in-the-face tool.



and here is the end result. whoever did this, karma will bite your f-king ass, so watch out!!

 

Ya know, I thought one time my car got keyed, then I realized I did it myself with a button on the back of my jeans when I turned around too fast.
That's how bad the paint is. My car is black, so that makes it even worse.

I'm glad it came out nice, you got lucky on that.

 

Last time I checked I didn't have a big arse.

 

I have big buttons.

 

Hummmm... oh wait wrong face.

 

sorry to hear your car got scratched but that's a pretty awesome job at fixing it. what did you use to fix it if you don't mind me asking?

 

i used polish (Griot's Polish#3), 3" orange pad, and my 3" random orbital in the pict above. i used moderate pressure and speed: 5.

2 full cycles, 5min, and walla, the scratch is gone.
