Just realized the coupes do look mean from behind at night. Less so for the '06. Anyone got a night shot of those?

they would look meaner if the rear bumper incorporated a diffuser. and the car was a little less bubbly butt (aka sharper like the TL)

Yeah, that does look mean, im sure this is going to come out retarded.. But i like how the "Bottom" of the taillights light up, instead of the whole thing, or the top or something, and i like how it is a "strip" that lights up instead of a circle or something

I hope i will get this v6 coupe.. Then i will have duals.. or well... fake duals.. whatever..

The old rear looks just like the Civic.

I should have put something on the brake pedal and taken a pic, so the middle light would have lit up...I think the LEDs are very bright. When I step on the brake and look in the mirror it looks so bright, I'm probably blinding people.

It looks really bright without your foot on the pedal.

I waxed the car last week with zaino(sp) And Im amazed how it still shines. I just need to wash it and it should look like straight out of autoshows :)



Hhehehee I could run the tap out of the glove box from the trunk, I have all the tools i need from my job @ office/warehouse.

Well, one of our h2 budlight hummer has a kegarator in it. Our "hospitallity bus" has like 3 kegarator in it. So i think its legal to run a tap in cars.

I bought the $100 Zaino kit, I had the chance last week a couple of days to use it, but I was getting my bike ready. I did use the zaino car wash and gloss enhancer though looked great, still looks pretty good actually. Then cleaned inside and made it look like it was on the showroom floor again. Can't wait til we have good weather again so I can keep it that way.

I looking for a good easy way to apply the zaino.

I have zaino but I haven't had the chance to use it yet....since I bought my car in the winter...I am praying I can use it really soon if the weather continues to get better....maybe before the NYC meet.

I'm still not sure exactly how to apply it...I have microfiber towels...maybe that?

my friend helped me with mine, we had to get rid of the current wax that was on there. We used the liquid detergent soap to get rid of the old wax. Dried the car, made sure there was no dust/dirt. Then we put zaino on using 100% cotton beater shirts.

By hand I use applicator pads to apply, microfiber towels to remove and buff.

By machine I use pads to apply, pads to remove and a microfiber bonnet to buff.

I took that class on the very first day they offered it, Man it was cold. But its all worth every penny of it. And the insurance deduction helps too :) :banana: :banana:

I took off full coverage 2 days ago...now I pay $24 a month for that. I might put full coverage on in the future if it's not more than $75
