What have you done to your P5 today?

....got a new rear wiper, too! the one i had was real bad....!

Wow you actually found one. Most places I go to don't have one that is small enough so I'm still rocking the winter wiper. I still need to check and see if the mazda3 rear wiper arm will fit on our cars, it's a lot cleaner looking.
 
Technically I did it yesterday but didn't have time to post.

Installed black alteeza's. Like the look better than the stock red and much better than the chrome alteeza's...IMO. As long as it is not snowing (?) or raining I will get some pics up tonight when I get home.

Still looking for turn signal bulbs to replace the factory orange...yuck. I want to keep it legit, so they must light amber. I know of the Silverstars and the chrome tinted (have those on the front of my Vue) but last weekend I came across some APC 1157 bulbs....black tinted but unfortunately the lit red. I guess I could use those and have red signals??? Let me know what you all think.
 
Weather held out..so here are some pics of the new lights.

My apologies for the dirty car...weather has been $hitty here so I haven't washed her in a couple of weeks. Also, this would be my first official mod(nana)

What happened?

I did the install, doubled up on the non foulers (the ones I bought were only about an inch deep), reset the ecu and everything. I start up the car and within 30 seconds the CEL light came on. I took it out for a drive and it feels like the car is running rich up to 5000 rpm and then it feels like a turbo kicks in. After the engine is warm the idle bounces from ~600 rpm up to 1200 rpm. So I have to figure out what the deal is there. Now, totally unrelated, my battery light is on so I have to figure out if my battery is going bad or I need to mess with the alternator.

tint em out! those look hot(first)
 
Finally washed 'er, fueled her, adjusted tire pressures (40PSI hot, should be about right), and will start putting my junk in her trunk for the trip tonight
 
Today I saw a spicy MSP in the new Rice-a-Roni comercial, in the beginning if you look to the right its driving through the toll booth.:)
 
so i was making a delivery, backing out of a blind driveway. i made it out, looked, it was clear, start backing out, and this ghetto ass kid runs behind my car and stops in the road. im going about 15, hit the brakes, and the big brakes lock and bam into a curb. no more side skirt. another trip to the body shop, another 500 dollars
