    Re-Stocked!

    I'm preparing to do a full detail again. It normally takes me a whole weekend but this will be my third time....so it should go much smoother. I already had a decent amount of supplies, so here's what I just purchased: Daily Special (JUMBO Detail Spray + 2x Single Soft White Towel)...

    Lost my locking lug nut adapter!

    Maybe you guys can help me out. I've misplaced the adapter that came with my wheels/lug nuts. Any ideas where I can get a replacement? Pics below...I'm not too familiar with these guys.

    Grille Emblem

    FYI don't order it from Tasca. It will run you just short of $11 Billion (before shipping). :lol:

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    Update Post 24..... I'm strongly considering selling my truck (not 100% yet, but leaning towards it). What would you guys recommend I sell it for? I'd probably shoot for a private party due to all the mods.....dealers won't care about that stuff. Basic stuff: -2007 FX4 Luxury Package...

    Matt's '07 Retrofit Build Thread

    Hi guys, feel free to follow along (or not). I'll be continuously posting updates on this as I make progress. Starting a new job tomorrow, so I'll be doing a little at a time. I used to run a DDM kit in stock housings, but realized how blinding they were and pulled them out. Promised myself...

    Tesla Model S

    This is the best looking electric car I've seen. Imagine the gas savings, especially with it rising so much lately. Do want. Looks like Tesla is back on track. http://www.teslamotors.com/models XrtXXrRa5OI Vvqj7egMZMI

    Americana Rating

    10/10, easily. I would rate everything else I used today but that would take too long. I was 100% satisfied with everything Adam's, but the Americana blew me away. For the price, I was very skeptical, as I've never been one to drop that much dough on a single detailing supply. Bit the...

    Matt's 3rd Official Detail -- DONE!!!

    I'm posting this before I go die. My back is killing me and I'm about to pass out. Every muscle on my body is cramping. I was on my first coat of wax and one of my fingers cramped sideways. I was like wtf? :lol: I busted butt and did the entire detail in one day. Normally I spread this...

    Adam's Customer Service

    Just wanted to let you know how awesome Adam's is. Not only is everything they sell made in the U.S.A., but they have amazing customer service. Combine that with the best products out there and you have a killer combo. Using myself as an example, I've had two interactions with Adam's...

    Would my daddy be proud?

    They were peeling and I was tired of looking at them. Since Patriot Decals can't do them anymore due to copyright issues with Ford, I wanted them gone. I'll polish out the difference next detail.

    Trouble brewing....

    This section feels lonely as of late. I'm getting ready to re-stock on detailing supplies. I will be ordering strictly from Adam's, as their inventory has greatly increased since my original purchases from them. Just waiting on my tax returns.... Will be doing another full detail of the...

    Time for an Upgrade

    As seen here in the 'Material' section of the review, my keyfob is ruined. Why wouldn't I just buy another keyfob, you ask? Unfortunately they are running about $100 on eBay. Not only that, but I've had problems with this unit for a while now. It gives me warning chirps all the time.....so...

    EcoBoost Torture Testing

    Just thought this was a cool video. Doesn't provide any technical info, just talks about how they test their engines. Pretty neat. :thumbs: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/26/mike-rowe-narrating-ford-f-150-ecoboost-web-documentary Torture Test 9O7I4knkKEo Hauling Timber bSoWkHLMsrU

    HOW TO: Make a Camera Mount for your Vehicle

    I've been wanting to make a camera mount for a while, now. I've also had people asking me for more exhaust videos, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Note: I found this design method online, so I am not taking credit for it at all. Just passing it along... Materials: - Piece...

    Escort 9500ix Radar Detector - Brief Review (Lotta Text)

    Sorry guys, no pics this time. Let me start off by clearing a few things up. First, I will be sending it back. Second, it's not because of the unit--I just had something come up that needs the money more. I went to Men's Warehouse the other day for a suit expecting to spend roughly $300 or...

    SO TEMPTING

    Should I get my tag back?...or not?

    Ran across this doing a google search today and got me thinking. Used to have a front license plate that was solid black with a tiger on the front. (Clemson Tigers...not exactly our mascot but it's a badass tiger) I like repping my school and it was a cool-looking tag (IMO). What do you...

    New toys coming in

    My passenger side speaker has been out for a while now. I had diagnosed it a while back and discovered the crossover was bad. Been really busy so I never got around to playing with it---just bit it and went with one speaker. Funny thing is that no one could tell I was only playing one...

    2011 Mustang GT in the 10s (On Nitrous)

    Was just browsing around earlier and came across this. I told myself in the past that I'd never own a Mustang...mainly since so many people buy them. However, the 2011 has me intrigued. Info from here... All I can say is I'm impressed. :thumbs:

    Never had one before. Anyone have any recommendations? I've been reading nothing but good things about the Whistler Pro-78SE.

    Quick-Fix for a Defective Window Switch

    Note: I did this for my 2007 Ford F-150, but it should be nearly identical in terms of process for other vehicles. Background: A few months ago my passenger side window switch became defective. It was capable of rolling down the window, but was not able to roll it back up. I had to do...
