But El Snapo! Who doesn't love black lung!?!

NO!
I dont care if you have a respirator, playground sand is straight up silica. Once its pulverized from blasting, it will buttf*** your lungs so hard.
Not even once, please dont. Even legitimate blast media is something to be very careful about.Good call. I looked up the brand orginally on Google it said it was silica free. Looked on the spec sheet. Definitely has silica. I owe you my lungs. Hell. Take one.

Go with black diamond blast media from Northern Tool. It worked the best out of all the media I tried when I was using that Harbor Freight blaster.

Went to test fit the fog deletes to check out how the fitment was and I can tell you this.
Its so tight of a fit one of the clips on the deletes broke off. So IDK if I am going to even try installing them
Dumb that the one ebay part I buy for my car is shit. What did I expect I guess.
-
All fog deletes, ebay and oem, fit very tight and you need to put then in a certain way to not break the clips. I've owned three sets and they're all the same.
Well if that is the case I wont even bother buying a new set. When they get painted along with the bumper Ill try to install them and not break any more clips!
If the one that has the broken clip wiggles Ill drill a hole in the side and ziptie it LOL.

You can also use silicone to hold it in. I used Gorilla silicone in a pinch once as one of mine took off like a rocket when I was street sharking and my lip flexed my bumper. I'm going to sit and wait for Jason to chime in and say that silicone isn't to be used as a means of fastening something lol

For the m3 grill I am going to use the correct fasteners and some silicone for added measure.

Silicone is NOT NOT NOT a glue, its a sealant. Meant for SEALING things. Like a gap. It has adhesive properties but its not meant to glue things.
Do you use a spoon to cut your waffles in the morning?
Do you brush your teeth with soap?
Do you wear women's underwear?
All of the above exaptations are possible, but its doesn't mean they are right. If you disagree, just continue doing what you have been and I will just look the other way.

What else is out there that works better than hot glue (which doesnt really work all that well) for plastics? I am looking for some new plastic bonding solutions myself
I've used plasticweld and that's worked pretty well for me.

I’ve washed my car 3(?) times in 4 years. You’re fine

I can top that, I haven’t washed my daily in at least two years, although I did hose off the underbody once. Part of the problem is that it’s 18 feet long though, not worth the effort.

First local Cars & Coffee is April 14th. That means I need to bust ass to do a bunch of things. Spring break starts week after next so nothing will be happening then. Going to be ordering a BUNCH of parts later today.
To do list.
Get midpipe
Get m3-fogdeletes painted
Sandblast/refinish/get tires mounted on style 32s
Do shifter bushings
Mount dinan exhaust + midpipe
Mishimoto rad + expansion tank
Mount m3 bumper on car
+Minor things like polish out my corner tails and sides. Mount new clips on m3 bumper.All going to be done within 4 weeks hopefully. Sadly the dinan exhaust will be on the bottom of the list due to me doing it with the shifter bushings. Bahhhhhhhhhh
