P&S Brake Buster diluted 3:1 and Car Pro Pearl to seal the tires!

Finally. hahaha.. I have the car the way I spec'd it on the original order. 50th emblems weren't available until 1 week after mine was built.

50th Anniversary Mblems all the way around and front & back now. giddy.

I finally used the CD player for the first time in WhiteIce

I picked up a CD titled Sacred Fire by Kevin Mockingbird while we were in Sedona. He plays is a Native American who plays all the songs on different Native American Flutes. Very haunting sounds and great for meditation

I replaced the OEM Bridgestone Alenza 001 Summer Run Flats with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. I run a square 19" setup with stock 245/50R19. I was happy with the OEM RFTs, but in the last couple of thousand miles they were starting to feel a bit "off." How's that for a description? At 23K miles, I think they probably had another couple of thousand left in them, but I was ready for a change.

The new tires feel different, to be sure. But I can only think of a couple of ways to describe them: the turn-in is better and they seem to be a bit "softer" (there I go again) on the freeway and over less than perfect roads. I can't comment on the grip just yet because I want to break them in for a bit before I push them in the curves and on off-ramps and on-ramps.

I like them. And I think they look a bit better as well.

P.S. It was interesting what the car shop did with the PSI and I was happy that they didn't mess with the tire setting in iDrive. They set the psi at about 38 psi all around. For normal driving I keep a bit less in the front tires. I haven't fuss with the iDrive settings much yet. I changed the tire type from Summer to Winter/All-Year. So far, iDrive hasn't given me a recommended PSI like for the original settings. It does still tell me what the psi is and what the temperature is.

I believe some "extra" cure time is in order for your location!

Rottweiler · 10-05-2022, 08:06 PM

I’m genuinely pleased with the results tbh

Pic’s definitely fall short of showing the finish

This looks fantastic. I’m gonna give a go at it once my wax wears off and I give it a good claying. Great work !

Ps what % is your windshield and sides? Also I’m not a cop

Windshield is clear 80…legal limit here

Fronts are 20 ~ Rears and Hatch 70

That combination got everything to meter evenly at 17

I put 5 on the roof panels

Legal here is 35 on the fronts

I’ll deal with it when I gotta deal with it :~}

Now that's some dedication. You could get some black 1/4 and 1/2 ounce weights for next time you need tires done. All you'd probably need is 4 strips of each for 4 tires, you'd likely have extra left over but better to have a little more than you need.

dinan5m3 · 10-05-2022, 09:50 PM

next, m1/m2, center console and shifter...

or, was that storage nets and ghetto celling...

Getting the rear 3 headrests done, with /// strips, no embroidery on back ones.

The /// should also match the /// strips being done on the seat belt webbing.
