Plates were also removed, cleaned, waxed, and reinstalled…

Engine compartment also cleaned but don’t have pictures :(

Thanks for viewing!

Looks good man!!

I hope you can work wonders on an STi that's beat down. I'll try and clean her up a bit before you hit it. LOL

I'll do my best, but if it is anything like the Silverado I did on Saturday it will still look worlds better. Sooner you drop it off Friday the better.
