R56 Laser Blue owners
yikes! I had a similar problem when I was working on a dry construction site. Inside and out, covered in dirt.
i have a thing for car camping... i mean, backpacking is fun, but car camping, you can bring everything, including ingredients for smores!

Last pics before some more major changes.... These are sort of old too... most recent changes include wrapping door handles with black vinyl, and switching to the "justacooper" amber side markers, as seen in my sig.
Is that at Magnuson Park?
na, magnuson doesn't have a view of the city really, spectacular views of mt. rainier though.
it's at a dock on the north tip of West Seattle, Seacrest Marina Park, right near Hamilton Viewpoint Park.

main reason i didn't get a white roof on mine was because the sunroof was a necessity in my car. I figured since it was going to be 60% black because of the glass anyway, I might as well make the whole thing black.
no worries, i do secretly have a thing for the white roofs... I think white makes the laser blue "pop" so much more.

Did you use blackout tape for the trim?
Thanks,

Ahhh, yes. While I enjoy the S-winders, I would like to switch to a nice 17" w/ non RFs and put in some coilovers. Of course I still need to get a blackout kit too. So many purchases....
If you're a diy person, just order some vinyl from Beacon Graphics.
Pretty cheap.
The vinyl can be tough to get on a few of the bends on the parts, just use a blow-dryer on high to heat it up.
The vinyl doesn't hold up well to rocks though, so be prepared to re-do it. I'm going to paint them later this summer though.

Now that spring is officially here, I decided to put the summer shoes on SeaBass. It's always amazing to feel the difference in grip; the car now is simply rapid in the on-ramps [again!].
