What did you do to your (OTHER than FX/EX/JX) today?

Today I did the valve cover gasket on my 1997 Acura CL as well as the spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor, air filter, pcv valve, gas filter, oil & oil filter, new EGR valve, cleaned the EGR passages, sway bar links, 2 outer tie rods, and all the brake pads. Got a lot done today, happy with myself. Then I took my FX for a ride, next weekend I will be doing all the brake pads on it. Bought EBC pads all around.
 
Began work on the custom front fender for my CLK, covered up the headlight sprayer hopes, since mine doesn't have that. Hopefully after the weekend I can paint it and fit it onto the car.
 
Okay just received my jwt popcharger in the mail. Installed it along with the Stillen Z tube on my G35x.

Holy shit the engine sounds mean as hell! Sounds like there is a bear under the hood when I nail the throttle even just half way. It really amplifies the VQ sound and growl.

I wish there were intakes available for my 09 FX :(

I was overly stressed this last weekend and did some random projects and tinkering as stress relief.
For I while I've had a chipped side mirror cover on the Volvo. Also, the clear coat started to peel long long ago. I bondo'ed the chip and vinyl wrapped both mirrors in 3M 1080 brushed aluminum. This was my first time with vinyl wrap. It's kinda fun, I like it.

A flaw with these cars is the paint/clear coat failure on plastic areas. This top facing edge of the trunk lid is quick to go, so I added a little flair hoping to not look cheesy.

BMW got hit...again. So I've had to drive it more often this past week since the FX was down. This past Saturday I was sitting in traffic at a long light and out of nowhere, BOOM! Prius behind me got a green, rolled through the intersection and into my back bumper. She saw the light turn green, and went through even though I had been sitting there in front of her the entire red light. It was a huge intersection too, 4 lanes plus a turn so she rolled like 80 ft. to hit me.

The car is lime green, not sure how people don't see it. It's now been hit twice in 12 months by people who "didn't see it" in broad daylight. Upside is damage is minor and she was really apologetic about it. She had a baby in the car so that's probably what distracted her. No injuries. Bumper cover is slightly creased, but the vinyl hides it really well. I can see that it's been pushed in some, the sides now bow out a few mm. But no one else would know. Goes in for estimate in a couple of days. I guess this is an opportunity to pick up the Mtech bumper and CF diffuser I've wanted for a while. Downside is it has to be wrapped after paint.
