No no no, it's a stainless steel scrubbing pad that is used on dishes. It's one giant 'string' of stainless, so there are no stray pieces, and then I secured it with aluminum wire.

Cool, I remember reading about this one but didn't connect the 2 at first.

Went out to wash the G before class today and noticed that the rubber strip above the windshield was peeled back about 6 inches and outside of where it is supposed to sit, anyone know if I can just use some sort of silicone sealant to reattach it in its little slot or do I need to buy a whole new strip? I'll post a picture later when I get home

Don't run those in every day traffic fogs are designed to cause glare .. so you can see in fog.

Fogs are designed to aim low and outside to illuminate the reflective stripes (edge and center marker) in the road, it's people who aim them wrong that blind oncoming drivers. You can't "penetrate" fog with light, it will always reflect a reduced percentage back at you, the more lumens you shoot out the more lumens you blind YOURSELF with.

The 06 coupe lights actually work pretty good in the fog, and help light up the road better in the rain. Those are the only times I turn them on though, because I hate looking like I'm driving around with hi-beams on.

Kind a want black seats with dark blue inserts for a better look...factory leather isn't available!

Had the Koni yellow adjustable shocks installed, set at 7 clicks (F) and 4 clicks (R) they're working great! Tire pressure set at 35psi all four corners, with 35 series tires 37psi rides like crap! For $420= I found a guy that replaced all the leather on the left side of my drivers chair, looks great and no more picking cotton! Having my KurumaZ front bumper repainted this coming week, getting ready for the Paul Walker tribute event on the 20th of May near me! I really need to get SLICK aced out, there will be some amazing rides at this event!

Big week for the G for me. Finally took my winter wheels off after 3 80 degree days in a row due to the arrival of my brand new Firestone Indy 500s. Replaced my blown rear camber arms with lockout washers (Thanks cleric!!) and installed camber bolts on the rear spring mount (they were missing).

Went and got it aligned again, looks like everything is good now for my new tires!

Then I put some lipstick on the pig (wash, hand polish, wax, trim back to black) and did my best to avoid thinking about the spreading rust which I've been actively avoiding fixing now that the weather is nice enough.
