Washed her yesterday and it's another gorgeous day out today. I found an empty lot to take a couple pictures. I already killed too many bugs on the the front from driving so I didn't like any of the front shots. I'm thinking I'm probably gonna buy the cusco tow hooks. Undecided if I want front only or back and front.

Also ordered my RT660 tires which should come in late this week. Then I'll have separate AutoX and street wheel/tires to swap between. Looking forward to my next event with them to see how much better they handle.

How and what tape did you used to get the red stripe around your lip and side.

I used 1/2" and 1/4" vinyl tape. Front lip, side, and mirrors are 1/2" and rear diffuser and hood is 1/4".

Pick your starting point, then leave a little extra to cut off and trim and roll it out slowly and follow the lines of the vehicle. For straight sections like the sides, you press it down at the starting point then roll it out as far as you can on the same straight line while keeping it taut and then press it down on the other end and you'll have a nice straight line because you're essentially just connecting two points. If you're happy with the line then run over the whole line with your finger to set it in place. If you're not, then pull the roll back and try again. Then from that second point you start working the curve slowly and pressing down often.

Once you get to the end, roll it a little longer than needed and wrap around the edge and trim the rest, similar to what you need to do at the start of the line. Turning corners you'll need to take your time to press the tape down a little at a time to give it a smooth curve. A tiny bit of heat from a blow dryer may help. Took a couple times to get lines I was happy with but those rolls are plenty to give it a few tries. It's mainly just the rear diffuser that's difficult.

Why do some people associate a different opinion as hate ?
I can say I dislike how something looks and not be a hater
I don't hate chocolate ice cream, I just prefer vanilla

I THINK, it's because people associate someone taking the time to leave an opinion that is not "looks good, love it" etc as "hate." I think that leaving no comment shows you don't like, but taking the time to say you don't like, is seen as hate. Just my two cents. But I see what you mean.

Yea if this is in reference to my car, people are welcome to dislike it and voice their opinions. When we put our stuff on a public forum we’re opening ourselves to scrutiny. People don’t have to like it and say what they want. You’re a bit of a weirdo though Imo if you’re getting angry or telling people they were dropped on their head just because you don’t like someone’s car on the internet ?

Reddit has confirmed the worst state to be Mississippi -- and let's be honest, Reddit's right about that one.
I honestly thought he was referring to CA ?

It’s the simple, way too common mindset of someone living their life based on others opinions rather than their own.
