Chemical Guys makes some good wax. I use their Butter Wet Wax on my customer's cars and they love the shine. It lasts a while too. It's about $30 a gallon and it smells like bananas.

Went to the body shop to see how my car is coming along and he FINALLY started working on my car...will go back next to week to check on the progress.

What did you do to your SC today?-img_3102-1-.jpg

I also went and picked up some CX Racing Coilvers...my boy who owns a performance shop has known the owner for over 10 years and said that I would have no issues with these at all....I was going to get BC and he said that these are made by same company and not to be fooled by the lower price. They look amazing and feel like great quality.

Spring rates are 12k/8K.

Thumbs up

Just bought 2 Pineer 5.25" speakers up front & Pioneer 6.5s in the rear. Also bought a 600w hifonics amp to power it all.

Double din kit is in transit via Amazon, as everything else I mentioned. My 98 apparently has bigger speakers then the pre 98s. Happy about that.

So with the upgraded system, next will be tints, big 3 upgrade with Mechman Alt, 1 12" Sundown NSV Sub.

When you tint that car your mind will be blown!! that color with dark tint looks crazy good. infact every tinted sc ive seen makes them look longer.

I actually tried to get it tinted today. The place is appointment only & was booked until next week, so had to set an appointment for Tuesday.

Can't wait. 35% Windshield, the rest 15%.

Finally fixed my ground wire issue with my radio install. I don't know why I've waited so long to fix it, laziness I suppose. The head unit would turn off/on when I hit the brake or turn signals, etc... It was random at times, all because of a poor ground. Because of the poor ground I believe it killed my battery(Autozone Gold which they replaced and gave me another 5 year warranty on).

I also replaced the negative battery terminal as the old one was quite loose, $11 shipped on ebay! Same part number as Sewell, easiest thing you'll ever install. Also throwing the sub back into the rear deck, it doesn't sound as good as it does in the box in the trunk, but for not it will have to do. It lacks that punchiness that a good box brings out. I don't know if I can tune it to punch instead of hum...if anyone knows much about amp settings I'd appreciate any advice. I have an Alipine PDX9.
