I started the day with some tire abuse on the way to work :wink: :racing:

Followed that up with a wash, wax and a full detail. Emptied the catch can.

Your turn, What did you do.....?

Replaced ground cable in trunk, it was so bad I was able to remove it by hand. It just fell to pieces, replaced the terminal and the cable. First time to see a negative cable so thin, probably 6 gauge.
No, I removed the red pc over the evic. Just purple over evic display which makes it closer to white. Still a bit difficult to see in super bright daylight depending on how sunlight hits the cluster but much better than the red.
Purple over evic to white? Or blue as pictured?

It doesnt look as blue as in the pic but maybe a light blue.

Factory reproductions?? Or another company??

Workin on a slight front end makeover. I got rid of the LED sequential turn signals that were mounted on the edge of the bumper. The control boxes were starting to wig out on me. Sometimes the lights wouldn't work at all, sometimes the LED sequencer wouldn't work, and on one of them the white LEDs were faded in two of the segments. I plan on doing something different down the road....

I wrapped the center section of the grille in cheap eBay Carbon Fiber vinyl. Mistake. It was very hard to work with, it lifted, and the carbon fiber pattern was delaminating and it just looked like crap. So this weekend I corrected my mistakes. I went with 3M Satin Dark Gray metallic. Also corrected a loose wire and got my x-lume lighted SRT badge working again. The grilles and fog light bezels were also spruced up and repainted with Duplicolor Bumper/Trim paint.

Still a few more things I'm working on, but here is how she sits now.





Here is a before shot:

Yea they're Factory Reproductions.
Well I didn’t do anything to her but I did order a boat load of parts to get the motor rebuilt.

Almost ripped my ****ing bumper off backing out of a parking spot. Got stuck on one of those conctete stop things.

Luckily it just poped most of the push pins out on the passenger side. The plastic didnt bend far enough to deform and crack.

Atleast i dont think. Trying to cool my head before i go postal on this block of useless concrete with a maul.

Has happened to my Magnum SRT8 twice. I know the frustration.
