also, if you'd like me to merge this thread with your other "evolution" thread so that you'd have your one thread showing your car's progression, I'd be pleased do to so

nlpamg please do merge them for me. As you can tell I am a junior member and still figuring out the posting formalities on the forum. I be glad if you can do that for me. thanks

What bulbs do you have for your sidemarkers? I colormatched mine silver but the amber light still shines through, and I love the look of yours.

Ooooh, car washes are a big no no!

Fastest way to ruin the finish and get the "spider web" look on your car.

What type of bike? Mountain or road?

This car wash place was great, total package. Waxing of the car and everything down to the wheels man.

I do both off-road and road biking

I have an XLT Dakar full suspension bike and a KHS Elite carbon Road bike. Pictures below of my bikes

He means you'll get swirls in your paint. Even touchless car wash use harsh acid that unless is completely rinsed off, will cause premature clear coat failure. Wax isn't going to do anything to hide scratches and swirls. Car washes like that will be good enough for 90% of the population out there, but for those 10% that care about the condition of the clear coat, they stay away from automatic car washes and dealer washes.

Keep an eye on the stays of the Jamis, as they have been weak points for years now.

I just am not feeling the grill for some reason... maybe the color? Just seems to stick out in a bad way.

For LED lighting it's AZN Optics FTW by the way!
