        Just from that top picture you can get an idea at the quality of the paint job. OE paint jobs definitely dont show reflections like that

          And from the second picture you can see that removing that dust and keeping the paint nice will be a challenge=(

            Get some form of a foam cannon to lift the dirt off before you hit it with a sponge.

              Would hitting it with really soapy water be the way to go? 

              how much rage would there be if someone drew penises in the dust all over the car?

                  It was dusty when it arrived so I didn't want to put a cover over dust and compound the issue=(

                                I don't have foglights anymore=) I've had foglight blanks. My headlights are plenty bright enough and foglights don't seem to last long before getting a rock through them=P

                                        Finally got around to sandblasting my swaybars and getting them powdercoated. I also did the dipstick tube while I was at it.

                                          Tackled a few things this weekend. 

                                          My passenger side door handle was hanging up on its frame like my drivers side so I removed it and remedied that. 

                                          I also removed the old Butyl tape from both doors. What a painstaking thing to do...

                                          20150815123203zpsvgdcubdl.jpg

                                          20150815132216zpsgnjmaqi4.jpg

                                          20150815122900zps7pkt0tlu.jpg

                                          I also removed my brake pedal and added the oilite bronze bushings

                                          20150814121910zpsy9hgl1nn.jpg

                                          The modified brake pedal went in after that as well. 

                                          I went to install the rabbit master cylinder so that I can bend up my front brake lines but I ran into an issue. The rear of the master fouls my firewall when it goes through my booster delete plate. I need to either remove some material from the firewall or source a porsche master that I know fits without any modification. I don't really want to take a dremel to the firewall but I may have to=/
