Hey, are you going to come to the meet? I think we're looking at sometime after the New Year, if you're down. We'd be the two SGM 2IS's there.

Looks good! However, if you paid to have it done, they missed the exhaust tips, the bumper cut-outs around same, left the interior surfaces of your wheels dirty, and didn't clean your wheel wells. They also REALLY greased your tires...I'd buff some of that off with a damp (old) rag, or you're going to have sling onto your clean paint.

I'm OCD with car care - most people probably wouldn't notice or care about these things, but if you're paying for it, make them do it right next time!

Yeah, unfortunately, people here in Washington aren't able to really obsess over every inch of their car being clean all the time because it rains so much.

Is it the concrete floor that looks familiar to you or the yellow lines? That's about all I see in the pics. I guess you haven't been in too many parking garages, but most of them look about the same.....from Seattle to Singapore.
