Default Buncha stuff I did to my car last weekend...(pics)

I was incredibly bored this past weekend at home so I decided to have some fun with my car. First I had to replace the A/C controls because the fan switch was broken. While I was at it, I figured I'd repaint my gauge bezel since it looked like shite from the last time I did it. So I sanded it down and painted it the same color as my valve cover. Then I figured while I was doing stuff, I'd shave my rear badges and just leave a pretty little H sitting on my trunk. For that I used some black silicone caulking to cover the holes fairly well. I wasn't incredibly worried about it since I'll be taking her in soon to have some touch-up work done...it's just something to last until then. After all this I washed and waxed! So here are the pictures of all this stuff!

Rear looks good from here and most people won't get much closer!


I love pictures like these...


A couple shot of the sides of my car. YEAH STOCK RIMS!



Yes, I have an Iggy in my car...it's a thing with some friends of mine.


And this is the blue bezel on the cluster before it went in.

I never said I took the H off. I was thinking about it and ended up not going through with it. I kinda like the way it looks with just the single H there. And I didn't get many good pics of the caulking. Here's the best one I could find.

I kinda like the clears on a dark car. I've been thinking abut going back to stock or JDM amber corners and bumpers though...

In your first post it said that you did the caulking and that you took them off but never said that you put it back on. Therefore i didnt know

coupes represent!...i think amber contrasts nicely w/ black cars...at least a lil better than the clears...another suggestion is maybe de-pinstriping it...the de-badging looks like it went well...and WOW for 300k+ miles!!
