Today I tried another brand of consumer ceramic wax or whatever you want to call the stuff. It's made my Nu Finish and supposed to last for a year. After using the Turtle wax hybrid solutions for a while, I think the Turtle wax is better, it seems to leave a smoother finish, but it is more streaky on black, so I have to damp towel it again after I'm done. The Nu Finish is less streaky but don't leave the paint as smooth feeling.... Maybe I should just buy a pro kit and get it over with. :(

Tonight went out on a cruise and nailed it in 2nd gear. Holy crap is this thing fast when the air cools down!!! :beer: It was 66 degrees out and felt like I had another 25 hp.

Put the APR rear sides on. Decided not to drill into the bumper so it’s held on with one screw and double sided tape. I think I need to take off the rear mud guards. Not sure if I like it.

Put in Lasfit LED turn signals and reverse lights. They are bright. Very bright. Will come in handy when I have to do the 24hr of Lemans.

Also installed the third brake lighter flasher mod from @NHCivicGuy the install requires taking off the three pieces and cutting parts of the rubber gasket. But you can tape it and still clean it up a bit. The install is a lot more involved than I had anticipated. Each piece of the light are held in by 3 8mm nuts and clips.

Which one are you doing? The bulbs are easier. The reverse being more accessible. The turn signal, not so much. Have fun pulling the 3 pieces out. They were no fun.
