What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Damn not finding Quicksand paint pen from the link on Chris Fix video.

That sounds great ... any idea if it will work with my unpowered SR rear view? Is it possible there is a power cable back there somewhere??

 

There's also Blias Bros guy in Fall River. I need to work with him on getting the software and whatnot too

 

I ended up getting my hands on a Yakima HD Adjustable. The cross bars will be showing up friday and install on saturday. After looking around this is the best option for a Retrax/Bed rack combo IMO.
There are some that are making their own modular rack, but nothing that gives the same height or strength the Yakima offers.

 

Had to get the tuffskinz sill protectors.

 

Did the Subaru tweeter upgrade... y'all weren't kidding. Surprised how much they improved the sound.

 

Got rid of the accumulator today!

 

Installed 5100s all around with OME 887s Over the weekend with a lot of help from @barretta.

 

MC?

 

Installed my MESO Hexrack for Sunroof.

 

That’s bad azz, where did you get the door trim piping? Like the red. Or did you have to change the panel?

(dogs still freakin me out, )

 

Awesome looking stance

 

Thanks

Just cheap piping. One of the cheapest things I did. It helps flesh out the Meso kit and bring that color splash into the rest of the interior.

Im unimpressed!

 

Just bought a Duplicolor pen to fix a scratch before trade-in and good lord do they suck.

The color match is good enough but the paint goes on crazy thick which made it look like absolute trash. Especially with the MGM metal flake to further highlight the imperfections, and that clear coat was a joke!

It looked soooo bad, I had to use acetone to take it off 5-6 times and start over before it ended up looking even half acceptable, and even then it still looked terrible.

The clear coat went on even thicker and started drying almost instantly so there was zero chance to work it all to try and get a smooth finish.

I'd rate the product about 2/10 overall.

 

Now I really hope to draw your name in the next round of human centipede.

 

One of my cars is black. Every time I detail it I whip out the black sharpie and it covers every little nick. Did this for a green truck and a red truck before selling them. Better than any touch up paint. New sharpie kits have 20+ colors in it. Just food for thought.

 

Yeah I tried using the gray metallic sharpies and they looked fine head on but were very obvious once seen from an angle. I was worried the dealer would notice and ding me for it which is why I got the pen.

I do the same sharpie trick every time I nick the shitty particle board on my CV LS-12s and you'd never really know unless you got crazy close.

 

Maybe wait and trade in on a rainy day then.
