Plan for the weekend: repainting the calipers (the paint still look good but I want to refresh it).
New lug nuts (the open ended R40 accumulate water and start to rust).
Full claybar, swirl remover, wax on the entire car. Will keep you updated!

If anyone have tips on how to remove swirls on the clear bra, it would be very nice!

you need one 9''x30'' sheet for each light (total of 4 for the whole car, you will also have leftover for the fogs/reflectors)

I used black plasti-dip with plasti-dip glossifier. Very easy to use and you can remove it if you want. I just removed it from the front grill and resprayed it (little rock chips)

Yea,the brakes look great in Orange! I have black wheels so I'm fine with the black brakes but I'm really feeling this orange. You car is looking better all the time.
I'm still hoping to get up there before summer is over......
