One of the things I like about getting to work early, is that I can usually park in the same spot in the parking structure. There is a group of about 5 of us, that are always in pretty early, that park in the same spots. The guy across from me just got a sweet new pickup. He pulls pretty far through, because my car is so small, I still fit perfect. It also means most other cars won’t take my spot if he is already there.
Before you get angry about how close he is, keep in mind I was second to arrive for the photo.

Blue Roof Attempt
Finally found a source for Blaze Blue plastidip online that wasn’t ridiculously overpriced so I attempted to paint the roof on Rocket blue.
It looks great, except for the fact that I did a terrible job painting it. It looks like some kind of strange marble camouflage pattern or something. It doesn’t look good, is what I’m saying. It’s also peeling at the front already. I’ll leave it for a few days, then maybe just leave it on the spoiler.

Rocket Got A Leap Spoiler
While we are still waiting on the full replacement wing for Amy’s car, the guys from Double Clutch Auto Worx contacted me and said they got a painted Leap Alpha C spoiler in. I couldn’t resist. It is somewhat subtle, but to me it makes a huge difference. Just enough more aggressive looking but not over the top.
Very happy!

Cheers!

Do you even stance, bro?
Rocket J got a “Cargo Stance” treatment today. Pallet of tiles loaded in the boot. My stance cost under $400, how much did you pay? 😛

Shoulder stripes on Rocket

Rocket: M7 grills and halo lights
Updated Rocket with M7 (Grillecraft) grills and wired up the halo’s in my aftermarket xenon lights.
Very happy with how it all turned out. Got the front side markers replaced with smoked ones, need to do the back.My fingers are raw from the work, but it really is one of my favorite times. Chad is very nice to just chill with while working, and he has great punk rock tunes.
