Josh tells me all about his box before you guys see it. Hell, I knew he was fingering his box for pictures before you guys even knew he had lowered it!

Sure did. You were either busy, or didn't care lol.

Or both...

Oh well

So... tree sap sucks ass. I spent 45 minutes with Goo gone and other chemicals trying to get the shit off my hood and no dice.

Went to the local car wash/detail and those fuckers charged me 25 bucks and took 10 minutes to get rid of all of it.

Money well spent, IMHO. Car looks great. Before/after shots coming soon.

EDIT:

Before:

AFTER:

Even feels like they tossed a coat of wax over the hood too, so I won't have to worry about that right away.

Cool headlight gasket.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 3:32 pm

It's custom.

And not something I care about enough to spend the money to replace right now.

dont really get alot of sap over here but springtime means all the cars turn yellow with pollen.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 3:33 pm

Hell no. I don't blame ya. Mine had little torn spots like that and I just cut them off with a razorblade to make them look smoother. Didn't really change the fitment or anything that much.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 3:34 pm

Oh no, mine is really bad. It's like that because it's dryrotted. There are actually gaps without gasket around it.

I'm trying to make my car into a "haggard masterpiece" like your Neon, Adam.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 4:16 pm

You sir, are well on your way

Just quit giving a shit, like you've already begun, and then buy cheap knockoff parts, but don't give a shit about them once they are on, either.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 4:21 pm

Sounds awfully difficult...

Oh, do I also have to dump on coils? Cuz that shit is expensive.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 4:52 pm

Nah, not necessarily. Add your own though to it

It's pretty expensive like you said. At that point, you've got to start adding / replacing a bunch of other shit. It aint easy bein' haggard.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 5:21 pm

Now... will I have to randomly sell off everything thinking I'm going to buy another car? Or is that optional?

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 5:31 pm

That's purely optional. What typically happens there is you realize your car isn't going to sell / you wont get another car, in which case you skip haggardness and re-invest in your ricer roots. Not the route I chose, but to each their own.

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind, and perhaps save myself a couple dollars down the road.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 4:59 pm

Special thanks to John (lownslow) for the insane hookup on new headlight gaskets, so those will be here soon.

I also noticed a nice chip in my drivers side door where the sidemoulding bubbles are. I'm assuming one of those bubbles burst and the paint around it chipped away.

So that kind of sucks, and I'll have to look into fixing that too.

ZeroChad · Post by **ZeroChad** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 5:41 pm

Dude...I drove all that way to jizz on your car, and then you clean it off....cmon!

Nice clean up. Sap sucks hardcore. When my car was getting rebuild under a pine tree for 2 weeks I had a ton of it on there. Try claybarring it next time. I was blown away at how well it got it off after trying everything else.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 5:45 pm

That's what my brother told me... after I paid money to have the car cleaned, lol

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:17 pm

So what did the detailing guys use to get that crap off so easy?

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:23 pm

No clue. The guy who was doing it was using some chemical mixure they make in house and didn't know what all was in it.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:34 pm

say goodbye to your paint in a week

go paint your goddamn wheels already.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:51 pm

Nah too lazy. And its been a week already... they waxed the whole front end so the paint is protected.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 5:07 pm

Just got some new headlight gaskets in the mail from John (lownslow) can't wait to not be too lazy to put 'em in!

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 5:08 pm

NEW RUBBERS! :>

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 5:51 pm

Lol the only rubbers Sean has ever had to buy.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 7:48 pm

Actually, I didn't *have* to buy these. He was going to send them free of charge, but I threw money at him anyways. Kind of like a perv throws dollars at strippers.
