What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

Man that looks so good I thought the cord above was a big scratch in the center of the hood. Heck of a reflection.

Left a Mellon on the passenger floor for two hot days. It melted and soaked the carpet and underlying foam. My new car smell is gone. I hate myself. Shoukd have not cheap out and bought real floor liners instead the oem slush mats.

Changed out the chrome door handles for the textured black ones. In the process of getting rid of the chrome. $85 for non OEM kit of 4 from 1A auto. The process was horrible and had a problem on every door with both the doors and the handles. I read in other forums how big of a pain this is and they weren't lying. For the driver side I taped the window up and the other 3 just set the glass down in the door. Neither worked that great. The tabs on the back of the handles were a little off and had to trim all four of them and the plastic clip on one of them had to be replaced with the old one from the handle I took off.

That’s why shops charge what they charge LOL. I know your pain. Im a weekend warrior detailer at heart. I love it. Doing my own vehicles of course. But I bet you don’t even realize how therapeutic it is in a sadistic way.

You did an amazing job and I can appreciate the work you put in. Takes a special breed

Holy cow, man. Sorry you had such an ordeal with this mod. I am sure it looks MUCH better now though!

 

[DsrtRat08]

Looks so much better. Crazy to think changing out my muffler for the Carven was easier and only took 30 minutes compared to door handles. Next up is color match grille with honey comb inserts. Should be here Wednesday

I did a lot this week in preparation for the Ramforum meetup tomorrow, but by far the coolest/easiest/cleanest was painting my chrome exhaust tip which is welded on. I was going to get it powdercoated, but this high heat chassis enamel works fantastic. Some 80 grit paper, wiped it down with rubbing alcohol, a little taping and rattle can action.

realized I might have a bit too much gas pedal on my right turns. right rear tire has much less tread than the other 3 tires.

You need to rotate your tires more often.

I have the black handles, I wish I had the body colored ones. Good idea getting rid of some chrome.

It was a toss up between body color or black. The fact I am going to the black honey comb grille and black wheels eventually made me go with the black.. that and the price tag. Just over $200 for the OEM body color handles.

 

[Purplert]

Then you get tired of the black handles and decide you want body color ones lol.

Thanks....it takes a perfectionist. Every time I think I’m done with a section I see something in different light and have to do it again. For instance Wednesday night I did the bed of the truck. Last night while working on the rear door I noticed a scratch on the fuel door. Of course I Had to fix it. Now it needs polished again lol

Ha ha ha ha. It never ends eh. Looks so good tho! I gotta do my wife’s suv and dread it. It’s gonna be a few days in the works for sure.

Shops around here charge about $2500 for paint correction and ceramic coating. Might be something to consider! I may even have that done before I do my lift [emoji12]
