Been crazy this past week trying to get the car tidied up! Got a foglight, new colormatched roundels, painted some trim and re-did the trunk spoiler, and dyed/painted the rear parcel shelf and rear speakers/grills.
Reassemble tonight, hopefully adjust the ride height a pinch, and do a wash/detail before Saturday!

Gluten or Blunttech for the parts.

I have been wanting some monochrome roundels for a while. Those look great

Man someday I promise myself I'll have attention to detail like this.
It's a double edged sword - there's always something to do!
Took a ton of pictures on Saturday early afternoon before the GTG - lots of great shots to come as the week goes on.

^ Here's the first, and probably most anticipated.
Enjoy

Thanks!
I've been hearing a slight whining/grinding noise from the rear the last couple times I drive it. Sounds like it's coming from the PS rear, doesn't get loud enough to hear until 15+ mph, is constant (doesn't change under braking or cornering) and is fairly high pitched (not metal-on-metal but does have a dragging metallic sound).
Pull the rear brakes off last: plenty of life on shoes and pads, shoes are functioning properly and are fully retracting when ebrake is released. No play up/down or left/right out of hubs - but hard to tell just by yanking on studs.
Only thing I could find out of the ordinary was some uneven wear on the rotor faces (just some light grooving - nothing I'm concerned about) and the following on the PS rear pads:
See the "lines" on the pad with wear sensor that run perpendicular to the rotor rotation? No idea what they're from - possibly a bad pad?
I was planning to do rotors/pads all around with good everything about mid summer, cash flow is alittle low right now. Maybe I'll have to do them sooner then later?!?

If you don't mind sharing, how much did the paint job run you? looks like it turned out pretty good.
