What did you do to your LS today?

^those go great with the slight tint of the reverse lights.... Had mine for years
 
exactly my thoughts also. did you not get the bubbled ones? I had to have the flat ones.
 
good stuff, yeah it's going to make a difference specially for the front plate on Hite's plate bracket.
 
did some refinishing today....

Installing and wiring tomorrow
 
Those refinishes are like new! looks fantastic!
 
My spar urethane coating has worn off after a year. Must be the harsh winters here and I think Optimum PoweClean did a number on them too during my spring detail. Going to be trying something else.
 
Battery was completely dead today. Was not surprised, thanks to some long ago advice here that certain sounds and events during the reconnection of a battery meant it was going to die. Thank god I kept my F150, fired that up and continued on my errands.

old bearings worn out. new tensioner pulley was smaller diameter than stock.

Removed the Universal Energy Suspension bracket and bushings as they are not a good fit.

Replaced with original brackets and REIN Jaguar bushings.

Fits like OEM. Bolt near the DCCV was a PITA again!

Second that.
 
thanks guys... I hope they last longer then a year !?!?! (we'll see)... I was able to buff his pretty smooth without the urethane (contemplated not even adding it) if they wear faster then mine (not so smooth), I may be on to something.

If so i'll try on a "not so perfect" polish, perhaps the urethane needs more to grab on to....hmmm
