Rolled the fenders on the SC400 - tested my patience!
Changed out the spark plugs
Cleaned out the throttlebody
Installed new afe air filter

Don't have any after pictures of the throttle body since my phone died

The next thing I need to do is figure out how what to use to paint these oxidized door pillars. I want to match the factory metallic color as close as possible.

Would that 3M vinyl work well in the elements? If so it would be a perfect match on the pillars and especially if you have some leftover it wouldn't cost ya anything..

I still have some dinoc carbon fiber and the gloss black metallic left over. I test fit the gloss black but it was way too shiny. I don't think I have enough of the CF though. I might take a swing at it to see how it looks, worse case scenario I can just peel off.
