Spring Wash and Wax

Here's the car after a tedious wash and wax followed by some detailing. I have higher resolution pictures if anyone is interested.









New bulbs, lows...



...and highs





Right now I'm pretty much 100% stock with the exception of some extra packages that came with the car. Right now my to-do list consists of clearing my corners, removing the pin striping, new rims, and tints all around. I'd like to drop it a bit as well but I'm not so sure considering our Minnesota winters.

Questions and comments are welcome.

2000 3.4L GLS

Pin striping really takes away from the secksieness.

Regarding the lowering, all the springs available are fine in winters. I'm from Massachusetts, we got murdered this year with storms and shit, and it was nothing. Just take it easy (go at an angle) over speed bumps, and you're fine.

I like the pin striping too... Mine had it. I removed it only to get real pin stripes put on, not stick on vinyl ones.

Well if you are going to be removing the vinyl stripes, I would suggest being very careful and taking some time if you use some sharp object. And to remove the adhesive just use some goo gone and it should only take an hour or two.

Mine had that little stripe, all i did was get a hold of it and pull, carefully of course, and it came off in maybe 50 seconds.

I wasn't really sure of the the pinstripes. My vinyl was a lot more intricate and had two different thicknesses of vinyl making it impossible to rip them off.
