        They probably pull my MPG down a point or two but you gotta be ready for the mud!

          Getting some odds & ends tightening up.

          -The steering wheel I got as a replacement had the airbag bracket bent a bit.  Put my old bracket in to had the airbag sit in the wheel at the proper height and not stick out.

          -"New" door sills.

          -Grip strip wasn't working on the trunk.  The valet lockout wasn't making the connection.  Bent it a bit and now the grip strip opens the trunk.

          -New tabs to correct the loose triiimmm.

                        Fiberglass mold of a (hopefully) CSL trunk. Needed some love to fit well but close enough for me.  I'm loving it. 

                        Additional update: KW Suspension has my rear shocks and they are inspecting them.  Should get 2 new ones under warranty as one is leaking.  The rear springs lost their spring and they replaced those under warranty as well.

                            The trunk color is a shade lighter than the car but not that much of an issue for me.  Excited to drive it soon!

                                      CSL trunk is so good! 😱

                                      are you running wheel spacers?
