Finally got confirmation my FI CBE was shipped on the 10th so hopefully it will be here by the end of the week. YaY.

Also went with the Takeda LT CAI but that won't be till Christmas with installation some time after.....

Ouch, can't leave base and run to Fedex to grab it later?

Tried to install my Hotchkis sway bars yesterday but the bolts are stuck on there. Didn't want to use the 12 point 17mm so I'm picking up a set of 6 point sockets that'll fit on my 1/2 inch drive breaker bar.

Getting around 32 degrees here so I may need to pick up an industrial space heater for my garage too.

Also, a local shop quoted me $249 plus tax for wrapping my window trim in vinyl - seems a little high to me.

Anyone getting coupons from the dealership? I got a $50 one in the mail, made the transmission fluid change cost me only $100 bucks. Great deal. These next two weeks will be huge for me. Transmission fluid change, rear camber kit, tail as a turn, new bracket for my license plate lights since the old was rusted through, new city light led (last ones werent bright enough). I also just ripped out the back seats this morning to do more rattle proofing. January has new powdercoating on wheels, and complete detail / paint correction scheduled.

I'm having it delivered to my friend's house here since the military mail system sucks. I'll just get it tomorrow hopefully. (Closest FedEx station is an hour away)

And $249 for window trim vinyl? That's ridiculous. I got quoted at $140.. But my friend did vinyl work on his M3 and it came out great and he said he'd do mine for free as long as I supply the wrap.

An hour? Ah, scrap that idea then.

Yeah, $249 seems nuts to me. I might as well try it myself. Blnewts DIY seems straight forward.

It should only cost $20 for a roll of 3M vinyl, and you can do it yourself... all you need is an xacto knife and some scissors.

Guess what I have scored yesterday!

A practically brand new broken in set of KW V3s with nomore than 1500 miles for $1000 and picked them up locally

I just have to clean them up maybe tonight after I get home from work, then all I gotta do is wait till spring time, although it's mid December and it feels like spring with those temperatures lately

$2000 CO's. Not too shabby, Mike.

Afterwards, you can probably sell your lowering springs for a little driving around cash.

Does the V3 give you more slack for height? IIRC, the V1 is slammed, even at full height.

Finally got my decklid spoiler in the mail. I'm about to head out to auto zone and Walmart to grab some primer/touch-up paint and masking tape before I install it. Wish me luck

EDIT: Took around 4 hours to figure this thing out.

I am not sure about that John, we will see. All I know is that , I couldn't pass up on this deal and that KW V3s are one of the best coilovers you can get for our cars and are great for track, which I am planning on next year to have some fun around curves
