Do I really need to remove the dipstick and engine mount to do the oil pan gasket????
This is going to be a huge PITA, right?

Yes you have to. the engine mounts are connected to the cross member. It's going to be pretty hard to drop the cross member without unbolting the engine mounts. Make sure you get a new o-ring for the dipstick tube. You'll be thinking it's a huge PITA when you're taking it a part. When you put it all back together, you'll be thinking that wasn't too bad...

Will grills from a coupe fit a sedan? or are they different?

I'm pretty sure they're different.

Thanks guys, thats what I thought as the hood was different. A guy local to me was selling some black grills but from a coupe. Ended up buying some cheaper ones off of Ebay for $40.

I'm curious about an iridescent rainbow effect that is appearing on the black 'high-gloss satin trim' at the base of my windows. I can rub the trim hard to lessen its visibility but I'm wondering what causes it and if things are going to get worse with time.

Mine did the same thing. It detailed out just fine. Try a polish...

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I don't even need polish to reduce the iridescence: rubbing with a microfiber cloth works. I'm just wondering what causes it and if it will get worse over time.

Automatic car wash chemicals have been talked about on other forums having a negative impact on the shadowline trim..
