After putting some freshly polished tails on the Box the original 2002 third brake light lens was looking a little cloudy by comparison. Did the same treatment on the third as the new tails; Maguires 300 correction compound, 302 polish and Ultimate wax all applied with a foam ball on a 3/8ths drill. Results are like new, you didnt know a paint correction system could be used on plastics huh?

Washed it for the first time since owning it. Cleaned the leaves from under the spoiler. Removed the stupid clear bra from the mirrors, and some sticky stuff from the bumper. This thing is going to need some time under a polishing wheel, but still looks really good.

I replaced today my front wishbones and control arms.
Everything went well until I tried to tighten the last nut on the passenger side (the one connecting the wishbone to the wheel frame), I stripped the star part of it:

I think it was already a little bit stripped when I bought it (used). So I still have a gap of 1/8, and the place is PITA to access due to the strut being in the way. Can I keep on driving the car like this or this is a safety hazard?
I am going to replace the struts next weekend, maybe I will have better access to fix it then?

Snapped a top cable, tweaked the clamshell. Not digging the manual top or bouncy clamshell. Waiting for parts...

Just got home from a week end in Chicago, car ran beautify, I was lucky enough to witness the no hitter at Wrigley on Saturday, Cubs fans are great, I don't think any one left the park, and they cheered on Cole Hamels (Philly's pitcher) for the final out. Chicago is a great city.

Replaced the lamps in the headlight assemblies. I had a bulb burn-out this morning. It's been four years, almost to the day, that I replaced my headlight assemblies. Where does the time go??

I installed the Sprint Booster.
Really like the difference between stock mode and aggressive mode, it's like two different cars.
Well worth the money if you ask me

Installed a dash pocket in the lower console. Now I have somewhere to put my phone, instead of in my lap. I still have a singe din opening, so I made a quick plastic blanking panel.

GT3 bumper painted and installed! Side skirts are also painted but have class in a couple hours, so I'll be saving those for tonight. It's crazy how something as simple as a bumper can totally change the look and stance of a car.

Getting back into the habit of going for drives for fun. Took the car out in almost 100 degree heat to test the new water pump, performed exceptionally!
