    Removed my center console/arm rest/etc. Reattached the mirror controls (finally) and cleaned all the gunk out. Woo for a working mirror adjuster, cup holder, and vents!

    Nope, got to the fairgrounds around 12:30. Left at 2:30. Got home at 4, slept for 20 minutes. Went to Davannis at 4:30 for my little cousins birthday left around 6 and went straight home and crawled in my bed. Didn't leave the house till 7 this morning. Went to work for couple minutes, had to run back home since I forgot my cell phone. Went to Super America to pick some banana's up and got back to work. I noticed it after I got back to work. I thought it happened at SA but then realized it couldnt have due to parking next to the pump.

    I just had my passenger side fender replaced. New fender and paint cost me less than $350.

    Just got my 2nd replacement for my DDM HID's and installed them. The free replacements - the shipping is great. The fact that they sent me a different ballast with no mounting points is pretty fail.... a few zipties and some trouble shooting did the trick... but i like the old ballast better.

    Are you installing it yourself? I was thinking on EWG from GS but it's a tight fit and it might be little too close to axle boot. It might melt the ruber boot, that's what I am afraid of. Also it might bee too loud for my taste. I would really like to hear how it sounds if you don't mind, I might change my mind :)

    I got my fender from Rockauto for $180 shipped and had it primed with spray paint. I had to drop it off at my friend's shop to get it painted in OBP for another $150. It would have cost me little more for paint but I got a discount. He usually charges ~$200 for a paint and prime.

    I have seen a larger bracket like that done with parts from Home Depot. It would be under $10 then... with black spray paint under $15

    I will be installing it myself and I hope it isn't too close. May have to make some type of heat shield. I with you on the loudness thing, I'm sure it will be loud at wot, but Im hoping its not so bad during normal driving. and if it is way too loud then I'll probably just go back to the stock iwg and change the u/p. When I get it installed and tuned I'd be happy to meet up and go for a ride at a meet or something.

    Took my front end apart. Managed to fix a few broken clips that hold the bumper to the fenders, popped out the bigger dent on my fender... reran the wires on my hellas so it looks a little more clean.

    Replaced the bumper mounting hardware, cover & fog light bezels. Hardest part of fitting everything back together was bending the fog light mounts back to their stock alignment.

    ruh roh! Hope it's somethings minor like a loose oil filter.

    I'm anxiously awaiting the new alternator to ship so I can shake out some kinks with mine :(
