Default What did you do to your RC today?

Thread dedicated for things you did to your RC today, also open place for questions without starting a new thread.

I let my friend borrow my car, he ended up curb rashing my rear right tire and I'm now driving around on the spare.

I used this guide for figure out which bulbs I have.

Then I purchased whichever color I wanted. I believe I chose 5k.

I also bought the vled v3 tritons for the turn signals. I haven't installed them yet. When I do I'll post it here.

Edit: I also washed my car today





I used 303 to clean/protect my engine bay.





Used a foam cannon and microfiber mitt to clean the rest





Applied CarPro Hyrdo2 to get a hydrophobic effect

I will be doing the front as well. I finished the rear today. I took a look at the front and the manual that came in the car made it seem so simple. I'll be doing the front probably this weekend.

I replaced my dealer license plate frame with a plain gloss black one.

I bought these. They are fender trimming similar to what's on the RCF....but these cover more of the fender. They come pre-painted with doubled sided stick already on. Just peel and press on. Take a look:

Not installed on mine yet but we did put some on one of the cars at our dealership. Yes, we have a modded RC350 for sale. Dropped with Vossens.
Anyway, the guy who sells these trims is out of town. Soon as I see him Ill get his information.
I'll take some pics of the car in the showroom with the fender trim installed then post the pics tomorrow night.
