What have you done to your P5 today?

the reason i asked is because powerslot, as far as i know, doesn't put dimples on their rotors.
not sure i know where woodbridge is. I'm 15 min outside philly, next to cherry hill.
they are actrually pro stop by powerslot.

i got the dimpled and slotted to increase cooling as my stock ones warped before i even changed my original rotors. once in a while i go nutz on the parkway racing rice burners LOL. but im afraid now that i have these ill kill myself. so ill try to keep my stress low and open the windows when a rice burner pisses me off.
 
I finally painted my rear rotors, 3 weeks or so after doing the front ones. I also half-installed my new front endlinks. They are bolted to the struts but not the sway bar because I have to saw or drill off what remains of the old endlinks.

I also applied more undercoating

You can kinda see the calipers in this pic.

Rear step plate: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123632028
(to cover scratches and prevent new ones)
Had that on my first P5, but not on this one... not sure which I preferred, but then again, not a lot goes into the hatch that I don't personally put in.

Suspension goes on tomorrow, weather permitting (yay!), but can't get an alignment until next week so the car will likely drive like s*** until then. Waiting on the damn lug nuts to come into the dealer - shop didn't have any that fit the 'speed rims, so they're sitting at the shop with the new rubber on them and I'm still driving around on the fugly steelies and winters... ugh

CF hatch? It's the only thing I can think of that not a lot of people have.
 
i know when i get more epoxy for the cf i have now im gunna make an over lay for the top grill piece that most of us paint.........thoughts on that?

I bet that would look pretty good. Like you said, the hatch area cover probably would be easy to do.
 
My car is rusty. This pic is from a few weeks ago, I've cleaned a lot of stuff up since then.

I just found the pic today when I dumped the contents of my 2GB SD card in my cam.

the header coating that looked so beautiful but was gone within a day. :'( it specifically said it was good for exhaust manifolds, bah.

blurry pic but it shows how terrible the fitment on my ractive header is. It sits way too far back, rubbing up against my oil pan and making my exhaust stick out way too much.

and here's an idea I was tossing around when I had my headlights open to get the glass shards out. I took the clear reflector off in front of the turn signal bulb, it looked pretty cool but I kinda like the white reflector there.

My Ractive header fits just fine. I had mine jet-hot ceramic coated. There is 0 rust on my header, inside or out. Had it off when i did a motor swap last December.

2 pix of my header and my old ebay SRI

Much worse from the drive home. You could say my grill is no longer a virgin...it's been bugged. Looks like a small bug graveyard on the front of my car. Nasty stuff coming off today!

wow the jet hot coating looks nice. Do they have a black coating? I have no clue where I could get that done around here but if I don't boost this summer I'll definitely look into it.
