John, you've got $10 from me.
Who's taking care of last minute mods? I've got a few things that I'm taking care of within the next week:
Of course a good detail will be done next Thursday/Friday in prep for the meet. Chris, Kirk, some of the local G guys around here, and I will have some Friday night meet and greet pics I'm sure.

I'm prepped and done; inside, out and under the hood. All I have to do is wash, dry and polish the car the day before, weather permitting. My only pending mod (springs) won't happen until after the meet, because... well, **** happens.
So if any of you homos make fun of my wheel fitment, I'll kill ya.

As for last minute stuff, I'm trying to get my hands on 25mm spacers. I think that's all I'll be able to get done. Gotta change my pads/rotors before the drive, and she'll get a nice wash and wax as well.

I'm just hoping to get mine back and back together.
- Parts are all painted and done but I don't have them in my grubby little hands hands yet
- Rotors and pads are in but calipers aren't
- New center caps should be in tomorrow I think
- New lens covers are here but the car is still getting the differential leak fixed
At this rate I may as well get a rental.

May come to that though I'm hoping it won't. Now that I'm thinking about it I wonder if I could have convinced the dealer to swap out my rotors at no cost while they were doing the other work...

GREAT bakery, used to hit Mario's on Arthur after yankee games then scoop a box of pastries on the way out back to LI.
Haven't been there in years, but back in the day they had full size canoli broken in half as free samples, also had a full grain pie out for easter

I found a few more mods I'm mulling over... I need to slow down, I really mean to slow down... Gotta focus dang it.
I'm ashamed to say that I've never been. I always mean to go but never make it, when I was at ONEighty I was going swing over but them found a place in Brooklyn so didn't venture over. But, as an Egidio descendant, I feel obligated to go, get a t-shirt and a box or several of goodies.

While we're talking about detailing, do any of you guys have a clear-bra on your car? My front end has one, and I was wondering what you guys use/recommend for cleaning it.
One of the guys at the BMW dealer I work at gave me some 3M polish, but it doesn't really work that well.

I wish I had a clear-bra. I would definitely have put one on the bumper I'm having painted on Friday however I can't spare the funds for it at the moment. Having to deal with a flooded basement thanks to a faulty dump valve on my hot water heater is going to set me back a few grand. Oh the joys of owning your own ****.

10 bucks from me , John.
10 days from now guys.
Not sure if i want to put much effort into detailing my car. After 4 hours on the highway, it will be covered in dirt, bugs... :P
I have the rubber all season floor mats and no matter how many time I clean them the dirt residue still show after dried. Any suggestions?

- Rinse with boiling water, running a scrub brush over them to loosen the dirt.
- Wipe down with Armor All. Thoroughly. (This can be a PITA.)
- Spray as a mist with 303 PRODUCTS Aerospace Protectant. Don't over do it.
- Let dry.
...and they look better than new.
