What did you do to your Blackwing today?

[raptor5244]

I'm not interested in 19's. Just add weight and degrade the ride. For me, on this car, if it doesn't improve performance, I'm not doing it. First car I've bought that didn't need upgraded tires, brakes and exhaust right out of the gate.

Yeah, I think this article answered it for me.

It all comes down to the tires.

I got PPF on the front CF splitter less than a week ago and have already scraped it twice since.

Likewise

Rolled over 600 miles.

Don't say "rolled over". My heart skipped a beat until I saw 600 miles

Sorry, let me try a rephrase. I have driven over 600 miles now! Might as well post another pic.

Aerodynamic downforce ladies and gentlemen: aerodynamic downforce.

It showed up in the thumbnail as upside down but when I inserted it was right side up. But it's from an iPhone posted with a Mac so who knows.

Drove it all the way to Australia

It was a quick trip at redline in 6th.

Probably the last hand wash of the year. Haven't decided how to wash it during the winter...

Maybe some of that waterless stuff?

Looking sharp!

I do have some, but I don't think it's a good idea with all salt. I'll need to find a nearby place where I can rinse all that off first.

Good read, thanx.

Find a touchless for salt, then do waterless in the warmth of your garage.

Just did waterless with Meguiars this week for the first time... and very happy.
... and within 15 minutes after these pictures were taken a bird dropped a bomb and hit me directly center hood with collateral spray hitting the windshield and edges of hood. If I was in combat I'd have been a goner with that hit

Road salt will scratch the hell out of your paint. I agree with @dribs15 , find a touchless car wash to get the salt off, or wash at home.

I have to stipulate to Shadow Metallic being the 'best' or I get kicked out of the SMC - but that is easily my other fave 5BW. The black bits work so so well with the silver/grey. Plus the lighter interior too.
I mean it's no Honda Odyssey, but still such a lovely looking car

Coin op with soap gun, high-pressure rinse for the touch less wash, then nice clean towels to dry it off will get the job done in the winter IMHO.

I had black Xpel applied to the roof. I had the Xpel re applied to the hood after the repaint, also did the A-pillars.

More pics after I pick the car up Friday.
