Re-seated the rubber seal by my right ear.

Seat foamectomy plus a piece of gym mat to protect my left knee and to effectively make the seat a bit narrower.

Floor looks great, I need to redo our garage floor sometime. Considering getting a concrete polisher and grinding it smooth before coating this time, perhaps it'll be too slippery.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

They are particularly swanky!

I was considering doing my wing mirrors in the 3M vinyl just for looks...but you cannot beat the real thing!
