It was. I did this after working the church parking lot, going to church, attending a high school graduation party and watching some World Cup!.Quote:

Just installed SW 4.0 LCM with triple-blink and rear fog lights.

Rear fogs are dope
Looks good Shawn.

+ 1. Looks good. Nice werk.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the advice. I really see the need for periodic maintenance driven on a calendar (vs. miles) basis. The transmission and differential especially.
Nice work Shawn! Looks great. Thanks again for your help on my car that day as well! :fistpump
I blame this thread for reminding me I should do maintenance to my wife's car. Half an hour later and I got an order from Turner Motorsports for filters,fluids, and a clutch line.
My wife asked me "so are you finally done or is this perpetual...?"Quote:

Clutch line because I will be removing the Cdv and bleeding the system so I thought while I am in there lol.
It's sunny out so I decided to clean the black carpet I sourced from Sambucci Bros in NYC and Colin picked up last week on his trip to Cape Cod. I think it looks pretty good. I still need to source the NB fronts. Working a lead.

Very nice. I'm jealous he's ditching the tan
Hmm natural brown...
Replaced rear right window regulator with OEM.

Bet Kim is loving "regular maintenance"...
Also noticed a leak near bottom of new ET. Need to investigate. Perhaps the sensor.
She didn't say anything about two trips to the dealer today :-) of course we did have to drive all the way back to Tyson's Corner to fetch her cell phone from a restaurant. ;-)Quote:

Figured you would have just untangled the wire and rewrapped it.Quote:

His NB front seats are supposed to ship tomorrow, but I guess the rest of the interior swap will be a Christmas furlough project.
Installed OEM L&R fog light covers.
Where'd you wind up finding the front seats?
I'm going with coupe seats to start with then may dye the current tan seats if I'm not happy with that. I was real close to getting a complete NB interior, but someone beat me to it :ducking:jealousQuote:

Here is a preview of Colin's birthday present (not until Oct). Some Coby custom goodness.

There is some cracking, a tear and seam separating and I dropped them to be repaired and redyed for $100/ea.

Wow, those Leatherique results are impressive. Thanks Shawn!
Doing research so I'm armed for when I get a set of NB seats in my possession! One day...
Understood. It does help. Even more so if it's done regularly.

Looks good Shawn! My seat has a tear in the same exact area. Sucks...
Oh my gosh :drool I had no idea he could do leather/alcantara mix.Quote:
