So what's he going to do when the car is dirty? The car is supposed to be clean when using the cover in order for dirt to not imbed itself in the weave of the cover. When this happens, all you're doing is putting scratches in your car every time thereafter when using the cover.Quote:

Most likely he would ONR it and put the cover on. Or he'll deal with the swirls. He obviously is willing to risk swirl introduction for cover install. I don't know of all of his reasons for wanting to put the cover on every night.....but he has the data, and doesn't need to explain his reasons to me.
I've always coded it to be like that, but since painting the inner bowls yellow, they are useless.Quote:

I changed back to my 45's and checked the front differential fluid.
But, why?? Do you guys not like having this option? I've never used mine, and probably never will, but I still like them...Quote:

Jon, it's not a matter of my not liking headlight washers, but mostly because my passenger's side headlight assembly had way too many broken clips to where moisture was seeping inside. I was more worried of my passenger's headlight assembly causing electrical problems so I swapped it out with a perfect passenger's side headlight assembly but realized that the new part was for cars w/o cold weather package. On the new assembly, there were no mounts for the headlight washers so I had to delete my headlight washers if I wanted to swap out the passenger's side headlights. This is why I did this. I basically kept everything intact underneath so when I am able to source the "proper" part, I can opt to restore everything back to OE....but for now I will know that I can drive in the upcoming winter months not having to worry about my headlights :thumbsupQuote:

Charlie, the front looks really clean. I really like the delete. Also like the new avatar.
Washed the exterior and detailed the interior. I'll be working on detailing the exterior this week. Gotta get her all shined up for EuroFest.
I can answer the why.Quote:

Ah, I did not realize you painted your bowls yellow. One of the reasons I've never done so my self (other reason being I just don't like yellow ;))Quote:

Yeah, when I painted them is when I had the projectors put in so little did I know that the highbeams would be screwed up. Oh well. Otherwise the bi-Xenon highs would have been more than sufficient. :(Quote:
