Pics of my little install and Clay Bar

I used some Meguires Clay Bar today. Amazing product! Highly recommend it. The paint is like glass! Just thought I'd share with the community....

Car has 107,000 miles on the clock and runs beautiful!

Also, some pics of my baby sub install. The last pic is my favorite. I stripped the car of all Bose equipment. The entire system is Alpine except the sub. (Remember this is my wife's car....soooo, baby sub. lol!) Enjoy!

Thanks!! Yeah, that was a big thing with her. She didnt want to lose any trunk space. I'm lucky she let me have that little cube box.

I too am a fan of the clay bar. If nothing else it makes applying and buffing the wax SO much easier and smoother -- once you've tried it, going without feels like buffing sandpaper.

Quick question -- are your rear tires mounted on the wrong side of the car? In the passenger side closeup I noticed the "swoops" in the tire pattern is going backwards. My tires have that pattern pointing in the rotational direction.

Then again, it could just be meaningless swoops. Just asking.

So, you were right! My tires were on the wrong side. I had to swap the rear left and right. I just had those mounted like a month or two ago. I guess the guy at Goodyear is blind. (But, then again. I guess I am too!)

Thanks for pointing that out man! Could have been a real damper on things once it starts to rain/snow.
