Hey friends! I'm in the process of getting my car detailed! I washed, clayed, washed again, and dried my car. Tomorrow morning I'll get to apply all the polish and wax on Bee and get to working on the interior. I'll be driving to Austin and then to San Antonio for spring break with my girlfriend on Wednesday. I wanted to make sure that my car was going to SHINE!!!! I also had to figure out a way to get my front license plate on the car without drilling and I think I figured out a pretty good solution. I took a 2" binder clip, put the license plate on the passenger vanity mirror facing out, put one clip on each of the sides, and placed the mirror back in its original position. Let me tell you, I think I might stick with this. You can clearly see the plate at all time and from different angles. I read the law on the front plate and it clearly stated that the "position and location of the plate is not defined". I haven't had any problems driving around Houston without the plate, but I'm worried about the state troopers on I-35 :(

I'm also thinking about replacing my front bumper with an SS one. I won't add any SS badging, but I want to get some bumblebee style stripes on and I think that the SS bumper just looks better with the stripes. I looked at GMpartsdirect.com and the total shipped is about $370. I figure that getting it painted will run about $300... but then I get to have 2 bumpers to alternate with! I also want to paint the black area around the fog lights silver... or yellow.. I still haven't made up my mind. I bought some new wipers for my windshield that are made from some sort of alloy that look just like the ones on the concept Camaro. I have an unhealthy obsession with that car

SO.. after all my rambling, how's everyone doing?
