Weekend install project?
I'm going to put them on after I give him a bath... gotta get rid of the salt and grime.

Also- after giving the post office some crap I got the poster delivered. They tried saying they "attempted to deliver it" yesterday. Funny thing was my husband was in the driveway when the postman pulled up to our mailbox. He dropped our main and left... no attempt to get out and get a signature for a package. I'll check it out when I get home this evening.

Poster finally arrived yesterday. It's bigger than I expected.... normal poster size: 24x36.
Not sure where it's going to go now. I was expecting something 11x17. Oh well, I may hang it in the garage. I'll have to think on it.

You can still get some 24x36 frames online for about $25

Yeah, I could get something simple from Michaels pretty cheap... the real issue is where to hang it since it's so large. I was going to hang it in my office in the house but I'm not sure it will fit where I was thinking.
I may have to move some things around in there.

The RS overlays looks really good. Subtle but still stands out.

haha [MENTION=132]GhostRS[/MENTION] that's some serious beading. I'll post pictures of the gel inlays when I get mine. Was installation easy?

Speaking of washing, I recently purchased and used this mitt for the first time this weekend and it made washing way easier than a sponge. Would definitely recommend trying this. I plan to order another one just for using on my wheels.

LOL thought you'd like that [deviltail]
Inlays went on super easy... perfect fit. I wiped the RS section of the spoiler with an IPA right before I applied them as well FYI.

Great choice... I have several of those for washing and love them. Mitts are way easier (IMO) to use than a sponge. You don't have to hold onto it and worry about dropping it.

I ordered a new sunscreen for the RS today.

If any of you like these for your windshield, I highly recommend getting a Covercraft Custom Sunscreen UVS100:

https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/product/uvs100-custom-sunscreen.UV

I get these made for all my vehicles... they are very effective and fit like a glove. They are a little pricey for a sunscreen, but they are high-quality and made in the US (if you care).

NOTE: if you search for 2017 it won't come up. I spoke with customer service and they test-fitted the 2016 version on a 2017 and it fits. I figured it would but wanted confirmation before I ordered.

Summer set went on today... woohoo!



I'll be interested how the Michelin PSS behave. Never had them before.

They are great tires. The darker wheels look way better on the grey.

I agree- I'm all about darker wheels. Usually I like black, but I'll take these.
