Well done.
What is FMIC?

Hey Boosted Mini, can you take a photo of the car from the rear and down the side with the mud flaps? Do they stick out past the wheels if looking down the side of the car? They look good on a lowered car, may be something I want to do in the future. Thanks. The car looks great!

Very classy! Is this a leather-specific conditioner or merely ivory bar soap mixed with aloe hair/body conditioner?

I have an Alta Front mount. But yes thats what an FMIC is.

In regards to the flaps.. they dont stick out really.. they run perfect with the body lines and give a more aggressive look for me. Also I was driving to big bear a lot and there are a ton of rocks and cinders and i was kicking them up onto my door paint.

Ha! I said PIC.
Guess I'll have to figure this stuff out. Read the directions and everything. No matter what quality I upload, it shrinks it to about 70k. Am I missing something or just a little slow?

Leather after a wash and condition! simple cheap and very effective Ivory soap and aloe conditioner. If you have lounge seats I recommend it.

Love the red lounge leather. I have the green lounge leather in my MCS, but had red been an option, I would have gone that way. How many miles on those seats?
