wash and wax, vacuum, rims/tire detail, and interior detail..... took me about 3 hours to do
used Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0....came out pretty good
New weather stripping for the sub, and new screws since it wasnt an absolute leak free seal (sealed box)
also reinstalled my infinity kappa 6.5's in the back, had to mount them from the bottom because of the tweeter being too high for the speaker covers to fit, required sawzall haha
came out awesome and sounds sweet as hell,
not a bad sunday....

i installed my kappas fine. had to cut some of oem grill but its only from bottom so you cant see anything from top.
try that. couse speakers are deep and might limit your trunk space.

finished up with the tail lights. any of you guys know how to get a glossy finish on tail lights? i wet sanded with 1000 grit, then 2000 grit. followed with medium fine cut cleaner and then wax. but i still have the matte finish. is it the clear coat i used? i used acrylic enamel, should i have used automotive clear coat?
i also blacked out my emblems and front emblem. looks sick.

dont tell me you painted your tail lights?... if you did that sucks to hear that you painted it, because unless you use traslusent paint with a good amount of clear coat you are never going to get that glossy look on your tails.. is better to just tint your tails with the smoke Vynil and it gives you the glossy look with out having to paint anything..

Change the rear rotors, and pads. I'll post pictures later of the most worn rotors i've ever see. Car is stopping 100x better, and I have yet to touch the front. Used Brembro Blanks in Hawk HPS i the rear like many members have suggested.

Yesterday I finished up my radiator flush, tightened a coolant hose clamp when I found a leak, cleaned my air filter, and replaced the relay harness and relay for the low beam ballast in the S2000 projector on my PS headlight. Tonight I will be drilling out a bolt that I busted the head off of for my PS headlight bracket, oiling and replacing my air filter, reinstalling my bumper cover, and hopefully connecting my PLX DM-200 OBD gauge after swapping my OBDII port to my KPro ECU.

Got the ball rolling on some assets that needed to be shifted for me to pick up Levi's TL wheels this weekend and my Ingalls camber kit I plan on ordering.

You should get on that one as soon as you can. The Ingalls rear camber kit is on backorder everywhere right now.
