Default Carnuba Wax?

I just thought I'd share something that I though was pretty interesting. Well, last night I picked up some daytime Tylenol pills because I have a cold and as I reading the ingredients the label indicates that there is carnuba wax in it! hahaha
I truly am a wacko!

^^ that proves that carnauba wax is a great wax to use if you're living in hot climates, which proves I'm right over what all my fellow georgians say

Thanks MuttGrunt! I have a friend who owns a paint shop and I had him mold a version 1 style of an Amuse front lip onto an AP2 front bumper. I loved the look of the Amuse but hated it was only for the AP1 so there was some customization that went into it. I was really impressed with the results. I got into a little fender bender a while back and decided to go back to the original AP1 bumper because I was tired of having to angle in the drive way. Here are a couple of more photos.
