Air Filter and general photography

  • Buffed up air filter cover
One of the things I planned on buying, but never really felt was worth $64, was a new chrome air filter cover and filter. So instead I buffed up my old cover using a sander (first coarse paper, then fine), and I must say the results are pretty good. I didn't get the complete reflection I was hoping for -well, I got tired and gave up- but it is quite shiny. Below you'll see pictures demonstrating the difference, as well as the final result. Amazingly, this is the first thing I've done on this car that has actually gone according to plan.


Naturally I had to go for a test drive afterwards, and I took along my camera. Below you'll see the resulting images, as well as a short video on part of the route we drove.




(That tapping noise you hear is the connection of the top to the front windshield)

Update: The pictures and video you see above were taken by Luz, who had just started dating me at the time. She is now my fiancée!
