What did you do to your NB today 2012?

George - Looking good! =)

thanks

and I got it a prosport water temp gauge today... was dirt cheap so I couldn't pass

Waiting for a gauge to come in before I can finish so I thought I'd do some other stuff in the meantime.
Wrapped the radio and shifter bezels in carbon fiber vinyl. Love the high-tech look which fits perfectly in my theme. This isn't a whole writeup, just a quick view of what I did today. I left out the heat gun and all the triming.


Scruffy bezels from the salvage yard

A little premeasuring and cutting

I'm glad to see those remedial art classes you took were not in vain. These parts actually look good. Very nice indeed.

Thanks guys! Thumper, I have just enugh left to wrap your mouth 'til you suffocate but that would be a terrible waste...of the vinyl.

You're such a ricer. I'm surprised you didn't just paint all your interior plastic yellow...

Seriously, it is your usual great job. That took a lot of patience getting the curves and edges to lay down. I'll be curious to see how well the vinyl stays on, especially in the FL heat. I've seen some folks do similar overlays in the past and they seem to have had issues after a bit with the edges lifting. I know 3M adhesive is good stuff so yours will probably be fine.

Just so I stay within the boundaries of the thread, I dreamed of mine today. Still have about two months before I head home. Then the wrenching begins!

I bought parts to refurb the steering; inner, outer tie rods, capture washers, lower ball joints, upper ball joint boots. I might as well get steering rack and front sway bar bushings. Maybe endlinks, too.

working on a translucent lava orange for the front side markers so they remain functional.

Dliverance, Andrew, and I installed the RSR EXMAG II on my nb today. We installed the polyurethane exhaust hangers from moss motors as well to help with a stiffer hold compared to the stock from bouncing around. This is my first video. It doesn't serve justice but there are two to gather together what is sounds like.

That sounds really good.

[Tristan75]

Yellow: Nice... very good job! that Carbon Fiber surround trim looks OEM =)
TheFrohn: Very good job too! =)

Just found out from FM that my Hydra isn't screwed up like I feared it was. Now that just means that I have to search to find what really is making my car run like shit.
