2nd on fixing the trim.

Does the trim look like that cause its faded, or cause of small nicks scratches? I used rubbing compound on my trim which was a little worn, and now it looks like new. In fact Rubbing compound is great, I used it on my front bumper road rash, headlights, and some scratches on hood and roof, they are much more discrete now. Its cheap and easy.

I got mine at advance auto parts for like 10 bucks, but walmart prolly has it. Its just a white cream with very tiny abrasive grits in it to smooth out minor blemishes. just scrub it on with an old tshirt for like5-10 min and then rinse it with water.

Your trim looks pretty beat up, if this doesnt work, wet sanding definitely will, rubbing compound is just a lot easier. you can use rubbing compound on all your paint too, it will make it look newer.

ok lots of things to do tomorrow. putting on my megan headers, removing broken oil pan bolts, new oil pan gasket, putting on painted valve cover, replacing valve cover gasket, and putting on painted ebay SAI (black), and new AEM dryflow filter. the intake hoses are red for now, til i can find some black ones, and also changing the tranny fluid. on the manual it says its 1.9 quarts, its it ok if i put 2 quarts. will the extra .1 do any damage.
