...I thought I'd share what 4115 km of built-up Canadian road grime looks like. It's deceiving - the car doesn't look bad but the mica doesn't sparkle hardly at all. A co-worker pointed out that my car paint looked duller than when I picked it up, then when I wiped my finger across the hood, and took off a layer of dirt, they were amazed at the difference. You can tell how dirty it is from the headlights.
Anyway, here is my car (finally posted some pics!). And it will get its first (!) bath in exactly 12 days when I get my waxes/polishes and buffer.
1 - Special dual-colour windshield mod (almost transparent with mostly opaque "swishes").
2 - Special "smoked" headlight mod. Not the traditional tint, this is more of a greyish brown...
3 - Do-it yourself look-a-like 2003.5 wheel mod. Let enough brake dust build up to give the rims a darker finish.
4 - When mod #2 obscures enough light that you can't see at night, wipe a small area off to let some light shine through.
