Oh tell me about it...the worst part is that the Government screws ya when you bring in parts from the States. The M3 Power Mirrors, 6 buck US off of ebay, 37 bucks Duty...Free Trade my ass...Alberta is a nice province. Havent been higher than Banff (Friends in Calgary). Good to see a few Canadians on-line.

oh...(braindead ...little slow tonight...no means absolutley nothing....i won a lottery for like 300 low number plates in MA...i was hoping for 7Z, it was available but you can't pick your number you get it randomly...7 is my favorite number and of course the Z if for ZOOM!
haha, np - my question could have been taken either way. why don't you get one with your username? that would be kinda cool... and i doubt it's been taken yet.

btw, what about my offer to 'relieve' you of said turbo setup? you would be donating it to a very worthy cause... :D

Thanks for the props guys. I love the new look and it was great to get the snows off finally. The new tires are great. My only problem is that I am driving much faster, oh well, no biggie, hehe. I wish I had them on Sunday.

Not a big fan of the black headlights.

Off to the shop tomorrow for a wheel alignment.

Yeah, they swear up and down if you do it "right" you won't have a problem...I could tell they were going to be a problem from the day I put them it...Not..with some clear epoxy...Never a problem again...I hope..
 
Only problem with that is that it will make it hard to take out of the car now. If you wanted to take them out and resell them when you get rid of your car, now you wont be able to.

That's another reason I'm glad I got the original DaveB rings, no glue or any kind of adhesive, they're just made well enough that they stay on there.
