Attention everyone from New England!

[SeaJay's]

I know how you feel I live at home but we are trying to move closer to work so I have to leave randomly too and been working 6 days a week and gettin a few details few and far between... I wish I had more but this weather doesn't help

Definitely agree with you on the weather. I've lucked out so far and haven't had to reschedule anything due to weather. We'll see about this weekend though. Weather isn't looking great and I have a detail Saturday morning and then details all day on Sunday!

Update on last weekends automotive flea market down at the Comcast Center in Mansfield that I was planning to attend:
Nope, I didn't get to it. Had asked for the day off but you know how that goes, lol.
O well. Perhaps next year.

LOL nice. Unfortunately, most of my detailing money goes to buying new equipment, products, etc. Not much goes in my pocket...but that's because I love buying things!

I do want to do some upgrades to my HHR SS that I bought. I want to get the Stage 1 turbo upgrade from GM (covered under my warranty). It's around $700 but will add an additional 40 horsepower to the car.

You can do cat back exhaust and intake to support the turbo and won't void warranty because you arenttouching the catalytic converters, my tuner specializes in those ecotech motors could probably tune it without voiding the warranty

And my car with the turbo kit would probably be at least 5xx rwp to start

The cat back exhaust I think I can do, but I'm pretty sure an intake will void the warranty...I need to figure that out.

Congrats on the HHR...and now the modding begins, actually I'm not sure it ever stops. Im the MAN

LOL yeah your probably right! I tinted my rear bumper lights last night. Only because they were very easy to pop out. I plan on doing my tail lights and the front bumper lights as well. But those are more time consuming to get out.

The modding definitely never stops haha, lights look good, I have the marker light in my front bumper tinted, what did you use ?

VHT Niteshades - 2 light coats and then 3 light coats of clear. I still need to wetsand it down and polish it. But need to pick up some 2000 grit sand paper.

 

[JCAuto Joe]

The intake shouldn't void you warranty.. You're not messing with any of the emissions stuff and your leaving the factory MAF and IAT in place, should be all set but if just call and ask anyway.

Well def look good for not being complete yet, you shoulda seen my tailights when i first bought my car..they used VHT.. but didn't prep it, didn't clear it didn't sand it and it didn't polish them.. So had to get new ones

Before:

New lights and no spoiler, much better

 

[SeaJay's]

Oh yeah those were pretty dull. Did you try wet sanding them down and polishing them? That might have at least made them look better.

Nah nuthin yet, I don't like the look of blacked out cars that have black paint.. maybe a little tint on the lights, but overall I like a clean factory look

I was thnking I could clean them wet sand and polish them and sell them make some money back

That's what I would do. At least make some money.

I don't mind the look of an all blacked out car if it's black, but I think it does need some color or something to break it up. Some times you can get away with it, but I know what you saying.

 

[JCAuto Joe]

If it's done right I like it, and mine wasnt when i got it it, the paint on the wheels was peeling because they werent prepped either so ichave to sand blast them and respray them and sell those too, but I got a good deal on my car, so no worries.
