Just don't have the time for pics, working 12hr days 7 days a week.
Leave for work in the dark come home in the dark. Haven't even had time to show it off to my Buds, just back and forth to work. And with all this snow & salt on the road,it don't stay pretty too long. If things ever slow down I def will take some pics.

Got a SCT SF3 yesterday, and Magnaflow mufflers, (Still in the boxes) and today I went to get a couple of 255/55/18 Nitto Motivos. Unfortunately, they only had one, but the other one will be here Monday. I have to drive the MM as a DD, till I get another DD. My Hankook tires don't really have to much tread on them. It took me about a week to figure out why I was having such bad traction in the snow, TIRES!

Serpentine belt yesterday, 235/50/18 Nitto Motivos for the front, today. I also took out the 140 pounds of kitty litter I had in the trunk. I figured with the new 255/55/18 Motivos I got a couple of weeks ago, that I didn't need them anymore. I was right! Car rides like a dream now.

You can get the paper at an automotive paint supply house.

They used a one stage paint to paint everything. When the lens lights up all the black illuminates. Almost like that night shade crap you can buy for like $20.00. And where they filled the key hole is all uprisen. Plus there are imperfections thru out the whole thing. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/22/sehyjere.jpg I paid $300.00 to have this done. It should of been 100% not 62% If I would of wanted a crappy job, I'd of done it myself... But even I would of done everything in a two stage paint. And floated out the key hole better. This car fights me tooth and nail, I swear!

Pulled my projector setup to put it up for sale. Going to wet sand it and reclear them before I put them up for sale however. Ordered hardware to make a new set today as well.
Also ordered my new bulbs for my lights in front. Stealth bulbs for the turn signals and LED Cree projectors for the turn lamps. Also have some projector fog lamp retrofits in the works...

Drove it, and enjoyed the drive
Cleaned the steering wheel switches, look like new.
For years as the switches faded from white lettering to black, I thought it was just wear on the switches.
I recently read a post somewhere on the site and found out it's just scum.
I took a mild rag soaked (not dripping) in my favorite vinyl cleaner under a tooth brush and scrubbed off the scum. I am elated.
Now I can offer the car at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona and command top bidding.

Warmed up the beast, put it up on rack and adjusted the rear ride height.
It was riding a solid inch too low, and didn't have the cool rake forward that most Marauders have (or are supposed to have).
I admit that I accidentally lowered it at first... But that only made the correction more accurate and cool when I redid it.
I then drove it everywhere. It was spotless, so I and cowboyed it all over town!

Went to the boneyard and grabbed an OEM catback:

Had it installed this morning then came home, used some aluminum angle and did a bumper tuck.

The MM hasn't moved since the indoor car show in Feb. Did apply OptiSeal a few weeks ago and installed a badgeless grille.
Was going to apply Opti's spray way (because she wasnt' shiny enough) but it streaked.
So, I settled for pulling her out of the garage for a few quick pics.
