I was working with someone 20 years ago. She keyed a nice Mercedes out of spite that someone had better things than she could afford.

When we got back to the office I told the boss what happened and said I would never work with her again.

She got fired.

A little bit of quick karma.

You just don't trash other peoples property.

Tinted the windows 45% front, 20% rear

Had to sign a waiver acknowledging that tinted drivers and passenger side windows is contrary to laws of the state of NJ. Like they got nothing better to do.

Usually a shop will do anything you want. It's up to the police officer if they are out of compliance.

Got the Blackjack sunroof graphic installed today... The color isn't very good in the photos. Looks awesome in real life!

Lets see, last night I killed 10,000 bugs with my MINI. This morning I cleaned those darned things of.

Then I installed a brake light pulser that I bought from Aaron at Outmotoring.

I'm hoping it catches the attention of the tail gating texting drivers.

Yesterday I installed an RMW cam and this morning I installed an Alta OCC, oil change and cleaned my intercooler. My car runs great! I highly recommend the RMW cam, it made a huge difference!

Complete detailing last night, inside and out, hoping to show the car tonight at a local weekly get together of all car enthusiasts. Recently tinted rear windows 65% tint, painted tow hook red, extended suspender stripes below the bottom grill, applied "Out Motoring Decal" vertically on passenger side front window. It just looks great. Doesn't take much for it to be an eye catcher.

Today I installed new bonnet stripes from Aesthetic Creations and the OEM rear bumper seal cover. I was completely amazed by how easy the bonnet stripes were to install. Much cheaper than the dealer, but looked exactly the same as the OEM ones I replaced. If anyone is on the fence about a DIY bonnet install, I encourage you to give it a try you will be amazed.

Skipped breakfast to work on the MINI before heading out for 4th July cookout...I installed HID's last year into the OEM fogs, so I really have no need for the HELLA 500 fogs anymore. And the rally look doesn't seem to work well with the rest of the cars theme. And getting behind the bumper for service mode can get to be a PITA to keep removing them Sooooooo.

I broke out the original Aero grilles, clear coated the black parts with Dupont clear acrylic lacquer, removed the black vinyl surrounds for the OEM fogs, removed the outmotoring/brackets and Hella's. Dead ended the wires, and transferred the badges.........then added the Great Britian license plate from the 1960's......

Before.

Grill badge was under 30 dollars. Not bad for custom design work and all.

Need two budgets for the MINI.

One for the loan, and one strictly for modding....
