Installed ZL1 Addons rock guards this evening.

Today I had tint & fender hash marks installed! Tint is 35% on the side windows, and 50% on the rear window. Hash marks are Gloss Black with a Gunmetal Metallic Gloss pinstripe. The car is getting close to where I want it to be for this spring!

Today I put 2 coats of AvalonKing Armor Shield IX ceramic coating on the car. Prepped with pre-wash, iron decontamination, clay mitt, polish, and IPA wipedown. Turned out very well, we'll see how it holds up.

Amazon had their K&N Performance Air Intake System on sale for 45% off the other day, so I snagged it. I'm not planning on going with a CAI setup, but I wanted the filter and to replace the air intake elbow. I hate the look of the ribbed stock elbow, and they usually end up looking chalky after a few years. It was very easy to install, I was able to skip several steps because I don't have a sound tube.

Looking great man. But what's a IPA wipedown?
Are you planning on doing a clear bra at all?

An IPA wipedown is the final step before the ceramic coating. Spray & wipe with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol & water. It removes any residues left behind by the polish or anything else.

I don't plan on any other coating or film - that would need to be done before ceramic or any other sealant.

I'm digging the hash marks.

Thanks!!

That was one of the "must haves" on my list of exterior modifications.

DamonZ28 · 05-02-2023, 07:35 PM

Installed some eBay decals.

DamonZ28 · 05-20-2023, 09:18 PM

Painted my calipers with a color-matched paint kit from G2, then installed some decals. Finished over the decals with some hi-temp clear coat. Turned out great!

DamonZ28 · 10-24-2023, 07:47 PM

Installed my Deadbrand Designs build plaque today.

And the best part is, none of these small upgrades cost very much.

I have some of the bright white bulbs for the reverse lights & license plate lights to go in soon too.

DamonZ28 · 10-28-2023, 09:13 PM

I replaced my reverse light bulbs and license plate light bulbs this evening. For the license plate bulbs, I went with cheap Amazon 194 led bulbs. For the reverse light bulbs, I went with the Nokya NOK5202 hyper white 21W bulbs. Looks so much better.
