What have you done to your P5 today?

Gave her a good wash today followed by a detailed waxing with Meguiar's HiTech yellow wax. The difference between now and about 5 days ago is ridiculous. I'll try to steal my uncle's camera for a few minutes today so I can snap some shots.
 
took these the other day

Boo MS3, get that out of here, LOL :p Looks good BTW. Makes me realize I really need to get some updated pictures of the P5.
 
sweet!

thanks magnum. Thats actually exactly why i took those shots actually. all the pics i had were pretty old, or just my car in the driveway
 
New tires, woo hoo. No more dunlops. The rears were still the original stock dunlops, and the fronts were replaced once according to the records I got when I bought it used from the dealer.
 
Here's a dirty engine bay pic of what I have been working on over the past three days. Got the whole turbo assembly pulled off, removed broken studs and installed the new ones and then reinstalled the entire thing in about 3 nights total. Not bad I don't think...

Hah, I figured that they still had some tread left, and I am way too cheap to buy tires before I have to. I also have snow tires for the winter, so that saved a lot of wear on the dunlops, and so the crappy snow and ice performance of the dunlops wasn't much of an issue. I also don't drive all that much, and most of the time I am pretty gentle on the car.
 
Picked up the Cobra radar/laser detector today. As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot it started going off. 1,2,3 beep beep beep. I'm like damn already? Sure enough, about 5-10 seconds later a cop passes by me going the opposite way. I also passed a cop clocking people but he was facing the same way I was so he was clocking the other way completely parallel to me. As soon as I passed him and the radar gun was pointed at the back of my car, the cobra went off. So far, so good and I have to say that the thing works great. I'll let you know more as time goes on but I just thought I'd share.
 
Tooks some pics today of the recent additions to the car which include the DG CF pieces (still waiting on Driver A-Pillar/Guage surround), Engine Cover, and my system (just because I don't think I have ever put up pics of it...)
