They have another mirror.

Haystack · 10-02-2018, 11:25 PM

Bought it.

Now I get to spend hours searching through the forum trying to learn as much as I can about it.

It's how I've got to know and learn about every car I've ever owned.

The mirror is a joke to get off. It just twist off and then you need to tap P CAN BUS. You will also need to write the new FA.

Yep. For my wagon. Bought it a long time ago from that dealership on ebay. Life got in the way but now it's finally on.

Fall here in FL is when it drops from 95°F every day to 85

Nickco43 · 10-04-2018, 08:27 PM

I am doing a clay, polish and Cquartz coating tomorrow. Hopefully it will turn out good.

Shane335 · 10-05-2018, 12:33 AM

Put it on my alignment rack during lunch at the shop. I had really bad toe in. She is back to surgical steering. It feels so much better. Mounting new tires tomorrow so I guess it will go back on the rack again tomorrow. I still need to dial in the rear some more.

take your time, and enjoy it. I have coated 4 cars with Opti-Gloss, worth it every single time.

A rain shower becomes a car wash

PS. Also do your wheels

ckanderson · 10-05-2018, 04:00 PM

Installed black reflectors on my front bumper but the smoked side markers I got from Ebay don't fit

Also replaced the stupid M/// Puddle lights the PO installed with factory ones

gamesfrager · 10-06-2018, 09:55 PM

My first ever car maintenance DIY

Replaced coils and spark plugs @ 48000+ km.
I was getting some stutter in certain conditions. Will see if this fixes it (no fault codes were showing)
Feels good to work on the car

Truly does feel great when you do your own work and you know you didn't break anything

Eventually you start realizing how badly dealerships do day to day tasks. My wife's car(Ford Escape) is still under warranty and whenever we bring it in for something I spend 30 or so minutes fixing stupid things they didn't do correctly.

The only "issue" is the eddictive feeling

I really want to get one of these quick jacks and start doing the tires and oil change.

Nickco43 · 10-06-2018, 11:19 PM

I finished my FRM3 retrofit and Auto high beam mirror retrofit. FRM took hours to find out what wires I needed to change for the side markers.
