Put on some 3M DiNoc Bonnet Stripes and M7 Upper and Middle Grilles
Blacked out the beltline using the kit from Out Motoring
Blacked out the Taillights
And got a clear rear fog and rewired it to be my reverse light.
I got a little carried away

I dropped Nudnik off at the repair shop today.
Today or tomorrow (my guess is tomorrow....) the warrantee company's inspector will look/listen/sniff the car and decide if he agrees with me and the mechanic that the transmission's going, and they're going to pay for a new transmission.
If he agrees with the mechanic and I, it'll thankfully only cost me the deductible ($200) to get the thing fixed.

Black grill trim
I got the black JCW grill trim today from OutMotoring. It only took a few minutes to take the chrome trim off and install the black trim.
I think it makes the grill look bigger. I'm leaving the chrome trim around the headlights, 'cause it make them look bigger, kind of like a surprised frog!

The authorize.net PayPal payment notice got caught in a filter. Sorry about that. We'll get it to you as soon as we can.
i guess it's a failed attempt. i might just need to get primer.

Found plasti-dip locally and blacked out most of my chrome. It's not perfect, definitely a few spots that will need a touchup, but looks decent from a couple of feet away. I have another can, i'll do a better job masking and remove the tape BEFORE it dries next time. It tried to peel off in a few spots :/
Decided to not do the headlight rings today, not sure if I will or not.

After 6 months of waiting, I finally got the RMW tune. I also got the flash tool at the same time since I want to be sure I'll be able to get the latest and greatest tunes without having to drive another 800 miles.
The tune is incredible BTW. My bone stock MCS gained 32 WHP and 13 ft-lb of torque. The torque doesn't fall off after 3k RPM either, it stays above 220 ft-lbs until 4500 RPM...it's a totally different driving experience now.
