What have you done to your P5 today?

Make it coming across the shoulder

haha, i cant do that! those shirts with huge images are printed on the material then the shirts are assembled. However i will make the image bigger and maybe start making shirts/decals for people. the decals arent vinyl cut, just a screen print on some clear sticker material. but i could talk to a company we work with to get some of them made up as vinyls.

Reclear, I wish I could just buff but I sanded the whole hood with 120 grit lol shouldn't take long at all

damn 120grit?? i used 1200grit on mine n i recleared it.. n guess what the damn kids where i live i guess tried sittin on my car or whatever and cracked the clear today i actually peeled it all offf.. so tomorrow ima wet sand it a lil more n buff and polish see how it looks if not i'll reclear it again next week when i paint my bumper.. good luck man
 
Are you taking off the rusted hood, Simon?
yep, its already off lol im sanding the CF hood while its on the car, makes it alot easier instead of having it on a stand

yea 120, i painted mine so i had to sand the paint off, i put like 8 coats of clear on it so 120 was just to sand most of the clear and paint off lol im using 400 once im done with all the paint and then re clearing it
i want to get as much of the gel coat off as possible before i reclear it
 
My P5 was probably started by Evan a few days ago. Other than that, I doubt it's moved.

Oh... speaking of that... keep an eye on the drivers rear tire. I think I snagged a nail in that damn thing.
 
POR-15'ed the inside of the doors today. For some reason, only the drivers side front and passenger side rear doors had rust on the bottom. The rear one had the most. So far, I'm very pleased with the result. I bought the kit with the clear "paint" so that I can go over it with the white at a later time. The reason I put paint in quotes is because it is more like a resin and looks like it will hold up to just about anything. I will be doing the rear fenders (mostly the passenger side) when I get home in a couple of weeks but I will actually be cutting off the bubbling paint, sanding everything down nice and even, POR-15, and then finishing everything with the kit from automotive touchup. It should look pretty good when I'm done.

Also checked my mailbox today and saw that my new HID bulbs came in. 3000k FTW. They look sick and are exactly what I was looking for. I'm hoping that they're not aimed too high but if they are, oh well :rolleyes: I got some pics of the lights but it wasn't easy to do so. You just gotta see it in person. First pic is side by side. Passenger side is my old bulb, driver's is the 3000k. Second pic is both installed.
