Project Black has Begun! - Colorado

Nice to hear!

Where's that pass at in the video? Looks familiar...

That is Guanella Pass that connects Georgetown to Highway 285 near Kenosha Pass. It's a beautiful drive, but there is about 1/2 mile of unpaved road towards 285. I just go up through Georgetown off of I-70 to the top, then back down the same way.

So...not too much to talk about for the last month...HOWEVER, today is a good day.

I just dropped Black off at the shop to get the hood, spoiler, side skirts and bumper touched up and re-painted back to Black Mica.

I have also been switching back and forth between V-Power plugs and Irridiums because of some pinging issues. The Irridiums seem to really help get the little bit of extra power the car is looking for when it's pinging.

She seems to be running great again overall! Once the paint is done, I will take some good photos and get them up.

...oh yeah...mud flaps installed!

Super extra over excited about getting my car back...

Tuesday afternoon.

Black is Back!!

Here she is in all her glory! The guy did a respectable job.

I got:

• the hood and spoiler re-touched and cleared
• the bumpers and side skirts sprayed and cleared
• a few minor dents PDR'd
• The headlights were cleaned up and he put a coat of clear on them. SUPER CLEAN!!
• and the guy put a clear bra on the front part of the hood

All for $600!!!

She looks pretty damn good. Better than she has in a while.

More pics to come, but couldn't resist when I saw her in the parking lot. This is a cell phone pic...

You need the Mazda6 rear wiper mod (Y)

 

[ProjectBlack]

?? I did not know of such a mod...

May be looking into that.

 

[azuelke]

^ Very easy to do, clean sleek wiper for the back. IIRC, all parts can be had for about $40 shipped.

^good to know! Thank you.
Here are some pics from today. Unfortunately, she got dusty on a dirt road on the way up.

Contemplating new car or these...I really don't want a car payment, and I think these would look sexxxy!
