The power window/lock door trims were aging, sticky, dull, and beat up. Took it down to bare plastic yesterday and gave it fresh 3 coats of silver paint left over from previous retrofit project and 3 coats of clear. No more sticky trims!

Wow, that's a clean ride man. I have never seen that color combo on these cars. Slick.
I never used my A/C in any of my vehicles prior to this year. I always had a sunroof, T-Tops or a vert. Now, I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT! 
Wow, that's really sharp looking. What kind of paint is that?

What's worst is I found out my A/C stopped working back in March. Lot's of rain at the time = really foggy windows.
Though it's funny, my first cars didn't have A/C and it wasn't a problem...then I started own cars with A/C and I'm a total pansy now!

Hahahaha! I get you there man!
I probably used my functioning A/C a handful of times in my life, prior to these days. It changed when we had our daughter. Now, all three of us live and die by the almighty A/C!
To boot, we live in Hawaii. We rarely see 90! We're from Texas, where we rarely see under a 100 in the Summer. Yup, I'm a pansy as well!

^^^ I was gonna do that fog rewire (and halos for that matter), but decided that fog-lights as DRL or daytime lights was stupid and gay, and makes no sense. 
That's just IMO, so don't anyone go becoming mad at me for this comment.
Anyway I did some stuff to my car that **** includes:
- restored all plastic/vinyl/rubber trim pieces on the car which were fading (used Mothers back to black and worked wonders)
- made my high-beams yellow with HELLA XY Yellow 3000k bulbs, tested it in horrible rain and fog last night and the yellow does work as I could see very well. my high beam reflectors also match my yellow fogs now when turned off and looking from the front.
- replaced PCV valve due to some slight indication it may be time, took out OEM valve (90k on it) and it barely rattled plus was partially blocked up when blowing hard on it. new valve was purolator, worked well.
- customized front badge to be different from rear (used to be both the same), color matched nissan letters in sterling mist to match the car, looks real nice.

MAN, THAT IS SHAAAAAAARP!
Dude, wtf? You come in here and start bashing.....Hahaha, J/K! I get what you're saying, but doesn't it look sweet? I love it. My SS and Vette both had that option and I loved it.
Good man. I just went with GY Comfot-tread Fuel Max. EXCELLENT TIRES.

^^^ HAHAHA dude that's too much. You guys are too funny
But I did say that fog light DRL was gay, NOT that I was gay. I think you made a mistake lol
Don't feel bad tho, fog light DRL isn't nearly as gay as those Audi LED strips (thanks VW, you homos) that now come on every car.
