Sorry GJ, but they have been off since then,  but since Dave and Randy removed them, and reinstalled them, I am sure with all the excellent preliminary work you did, they managed to align them equally as well.

I'm confused

You have a dent in the fender, the piece between the tire, the door and the hood?  and that pinched your door?

I have had my lambos as long as anyone and have not had a problem with either the hood, the door or the fender, and my fenders are now fiberglass.

John where the fender meets the door just below the hood . I know they had to pull the door out to far .even had to respace the fender away from the door. I ask them and nobody knows anything . I'm leaning toward F/G fenders also .Possible when putting on Lift they were under side Skirt and shifted fender , I don't know !

I managed to eliminate a rattle near the dash that started a while ago. The torx screw that holds the mirror to the base plate had backed out quite a bit and made a horrible clanking noise when going over bumps. At first I thought the adhesive was coming loose (glad that wasn't the case). Tightened the screw back down and now I'm good to go.  :woohoo:

I sent off the elbow that connects the turbo to the passenger IC Pipe to Dejon to have it polished and powdercoated.
That will finish off all the pipes in the engine bay.

Carol and I drove over to snaponbob's home and what a beautiful day to take a drive.  He installed our Red DDMWorks Cross Bay Brace.  If you have not pulled the trigger I would jump on the bandwagon and order it and the Relocation Kit for the Power Steering.  It does make a difference!  Thanks Bob!

A gentleman drove 2 hours to get my stock airbox in exchange for a GMPP CAI. I like the look and the sound of the CAI. Sure is lots more room under the hood now.   :D

Drove in the rain for the second time in the Sol.  Then gave it a good wash and a quick wax...  rain is scary, so I had to wax.  :)
