                      1) Serviced air filter (K/N drop-in) and repainted air filter housing/Forever Blacked the rubber bellows to the cool air inlet.

                      2) Checked oil level and topped up coolant

                      3) Installed new front brake pads (Pagid)

                      4) Installed outboard covers for M-Techic I front spoiler connecting to undertray

                      5) Touched up BBS wheels with cool little touch-up paint pen

                      6) Replaced rubber-covered interior light switches on both sides that paint shop oversprayed when they did the door jambs with free switches I got from a buddy with a soon-to-be-towed parts car.

                          Today, I'm going to do a little work on the mod we did to my wheels, and see if I can get my car up on a lift at a shop my friend works at, and put some tranny fluid in.

                                Gave it a good wash, vacuum and back-to-blacked it from bumper to bumper. I know it's not a verb, but you get the point.
