No, no man sauce haha. Well I taped up my car to keep rock chips from hitting my already rock chipped to hell front end for my trip to Waco on Saturday. Taped up part of the hood, fenders, roof, and mirrors.

Everything went fine and dandy, got back Saturday night and passed out from all the activities that went on that day. Didn't realized it rained that night. And well when I went to take off the tape the next day, some of the paint started to peel off with the tape

So now I have patches of paint missing from my hood. Everywhere else came off fine.

damn bro i am sad to hear!

well if there were large enough chunks of paint missing already before you put the tape on with it raining it probably didnt help when taking it off..

so you just leave your man sauce to this interior then? Smart man lol

It's all good. Most of the chips actually weren't too bad, most of where it peeled was the valley part that runs along the side so the clear coat was prob thin there. I've been wanting to repaint anyway so I might as well do it now.

And yep, man sauce will stay on the inside if the opportunity ever presents itself haha

i need to do a full repaint on mine, poor thing has never seen a garage in her whole life!

trunk is bad where i debadged it, lots of sunpots and you can see where i took the clearcoat off too. Door ding from a white car and the roof is scratched up from some damn tree branches. Im wanting a new trunk anyhow and go wingless!

to stay on topic i hit over 96k today, and found out about how much my tt install should be....im guessing around 1800$ or so.

LOL I just rolled over 60k the other day

A good detail would help with most of that. I hate not having a garage any longer since I moved out on my own.

But I kinda wanna do the same thing as well, eventually a nismo front, rear lip, and strafe V2 trunk. Hopefully this semesters refund check might cover my wheels finally lol

yeah the strafe trunk is bad ***, i want to change up the rear but im fine with leaving the front bumber stock. my biggest issue is with the mudguards i hate those damn things. I cant go any lower because of those, otherwise i wouldnt make it over the spike strip driving off base.....the side skirts will be the first thing to be chagned for sure.

car is starting to wiggle a bit when going over a bumb, im thinking its the toe-ends, i really need a alignment though.

If you don't like the mud/splash guards, you could simply take them off, that's what I did. Somebody else wanted them too so it was a win-win for both of us.

I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I'm sure a lot of folks would recommend you get all new bushings if you haven't replaced them already.

Installing my tt was no fun but i would do it myself again. Its something to learn how to do
