Also got a center console with Solstice silhouette on it by JPM's Joe and Alex. Getting my wind deflector lighted when I put on the brakes with a switch in case I want to disable it. Thanks to Tom!

Smoked out my fog/parking lights and contemplated lightly tinting the taillights......  Still debating when I'm going to tackle this vinyl wrap kit for the windshield and rear trunk bar.... Looks like a real headache.  Anyone else wrap their setup rather than paint?  Should I just paint it?  how much did any of you spend for paint-job?

My windshield is wrapped and the tulip is painted.
It is a Pita.  Easier if you have a second set of hands.

Got a DDM alignment and oil catch can at the meet.  Even just driving home, the car is much more responsive to input - the heavy feel is lost.  Can't wait to autocross it!

Washed it and took it for a run through the twisties!  Mach Shorty singing, new alignment gently rotating the rear.....almost heaven!   :D
