I used Klasse All-in-One, but I've got a bottle of Epic coming for Christmas to try out

According to Heather from DP, the Klasse looks amazing on red but not so much on other colors. I got it because its safe to use on the plastic bits.

I have had mine for about a month now, and I must say that this is probably my all time favorite car I've had. I haven't done too much yet, but I just did my stripes. What do you think....?

if you can make it out of there without purchasing a bottle of epic of hydro, i commend you... but would advise you to go and buy those products anyway


its a synthetic wax that works awesomely.... same with hydro. Hydro is a dry as you wax product that is super easy.

The stripes look great! I notice you're in the LA area - did you by any chance have your stripes done at Auto Perfections? They're good friends of mine, did the work on my car, and were telling me about a charcoal gray one that they did double stripes on with gray on the roof. It could be a huge coincidence but I figured I'd ask. :0)

Got my boot stripes, actual size sticker and custom euro-plate installed today.
Sorry for the dirt and crappy pics, weather here has been horrible.

Very nice Dan. I notice your splitter attaches to the honeycomb grill instead of the bumper which requires drilling a hole, unlike some other similiar splitters on the market. How does it attach? Is it adjustable?

The side of the grille where we attached it is solid plastic, so we did drill a hole there. We went with this attachment point for the support struts because a.) we could remove it later without having ugly holes in the bumper skin and b.) because it looks different than the others.

And yes, those support struts are adjustable for length.

I'm thinking of printing out some wallet sized pictures, so I can ask people if they want to see shots of my baby.

It's still at the dealer getting the clear bra installed. Saturday has never seemed so far away.





More shots in my gallery and/or via the Flickr links.

Maybe it's just the angle but how did you get it in such a small space?

Parking distance control for the parking question.
And the black handles and gaz cap for the "how much more black could it get" question.
