got car back on Wednesday , he said there was only 1 qt or so of oil left. i put about maybe 7-8k miles on synthetic oil. i was over 1-2k miles as i didn't notice i was past due.

also changed out the oem rotors with new ones and bought new pads, and i needed new tension belts as it was all chewed up. runs amazing now
they also painted my calipers black for free. i wanted red but they said it was fire hydrant bright red so it wouldn't of looked good but i wouldn't of cared, i cant even see them in black lol.

Another shot of some plastic revive. I did paint one with duplicolor after using the heat gun to remove some scratches, just to see how it turned out.


The piece from yesterday after it sit for 24 hours after using the heat gun. NO PAINT:



Door Trim with heat gun to remove scratches and Duplicolor Paint

Before:


After:


The results are pretty damn close. So choose which method you want to use.
