Sometimes decisions make sense at the time, and even in hindsight, it wasn't a terrible idea, and the alternatives were not better. If I didn't buy out my lease, I would have bought a more expensive car
Ah, OK. I did that once. Had a 3.5 year lease on a 1992 Nissan 240SX Coupe, then bought it out with a 3 year loan, and sold it in the 7th year. Freaking loved that car.

The idle wont fix itself. Need to either do the pedal dance, have a dealer reset it, or use NDSIII and a bluetooth dongle.

Some have reported the idle does indeed fix itself. Pedal dance is faster, though.

I've tried several brands and the OEM blades seemed the best.

I would have just done the OEM refills, but my actual wiper itself was broken (couldn't even hold a blade). I got TRICO Flex Beam wiper blades and they fit, work, and look good. Plus they are inexpensive.

Finally installed the OEM aluminum sport pedals today. Please excuse any dirtiness as the whole area was thoroughly cleaned after
