What have you done to your MS3 today?

Installed the VG shark fin. Looks seriously cool, and is guaranteed to make the car go faster!
 
powdercoated custom made tow plate (1.some odd lbs lighter than the cpe tow plate) and installed a test bov for PG aswell.

I'm sadistic. I got up at 6:30 am to wash and wax the car for the College Park meet.

I get up at 5:xx am to wash my car every week. And spend like around 2 to 3 hours giving it a good clean. It's the best time of the day. No sun and cool weather.
 
leds before and after

I copied/pasted this from the other thread where I promised to have before/after pics of things I install. Up first, is the leds from superbrightleds.

Overall, the LEDs feel dimmer, because the white color seems cooler. However the camera shows more clarity with the cool led light. Also the colors of items are much closer to daylight lit rather than yellow lit. Exposure is the same with the before/after pics to better compare brightness, though I didn't get the framing exactly on some pics.

First set: Mix of old bulb/new led on map lights: (7440 W6)

Second set: Old bulb and new led on dome light:

Trunk light:

Reverse lights: The white color is definitely better looking, but still it's dimmer in light area. Mix/old/new:

I used to have a Chevy truck I did that on. It got at least rinsed off and wiped down EVERY morning, 'cept if it was really cold outside.
