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.

Installed V3 Tritons for my front turn signal bulbs and installed LED reverse lights. I'll take some reverse pictures at night later today

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.
