I hear ya. I'm starting to loose hope for a boost kit like the GD's have. So I may be moving to a faster platform not long after I pay it off.

Installed a Curt hitch. Having the car six feet in the air made it a whole lot easier! Now to pop panels and hook up the light kit.

D'oh! Accidentally posted this in the GD thread.

Not exactly today, but it's been a while since I posted anything. Last weekend I fitted some new wheels (Konig Retracks 15x7 40mm) and installed my Tiger Tuning/KMR Lower tie-end bar, which I have since scraped all to hell.







Also, a friend drew this for me, starting with the model from the Facebook game Car Town:

Looks good!

I made the mistake of installing mine in the dead of winter, so the 3M tape never fully bonded and has since come loose. It still acts like a pad to prevent the spoiler from rubbing the roof, and there's some adhesion left in the middle, I think. Every once in a while I give it a gentle wiggle, and if it moves I check the bolts. They start to loosen every once in a while, so I tighten them back up and give it a while. I'm thinking about taking it off, prepping the area, and adding some fresh 3M foam tape, but I hate playing with those bolts more than necessary.

I've gone through the touchless wash with the high speed turbine air driers plenty of times, and that hasn't been enough to rip the wing off, even when it was already a tad loose, so I'd say you're fine.

Yeah, I've been home since about 6 am Tuesday morning... went right back to work later that evening.

Of course, my sister dropped a bit of a bombshell on me. She, her husband and kids are all moving back to an apartment (so that their kids are residentially qualified to go to a school near there). While I will be have three new roommates in the house! @.@!

edit: suddenly feels like I'm in an episode of Big Brother.

Next time you have the bolts off, throw some Thread Lock on there. It'll keep the bolts from coming loose.
