yeah i saw that. I am only using those 55w temporarily cause I had it laying around lol...I will change it to 35w sooner or later. I also hear there is LED projector that directly replace our fog light. I may look into that as well.

Hey, keep the edge of the clear bra clean. Otherwise, you'll get dirt building up in there and you'll really be able to see it.
Use a toothbrush or something very soft on it.

And don't attempt it yourself!! I tried a clear bra on a front bumper once and helllll no. Very very difficult to install. I had th clear bra professionally installed on my S last year and it's great. No issues with the edges whatsoever.
As far as the fluid for the tranny, the GM stuff is soo good that you don't even have to wait for the 3rd gear issues. I went to the fluid in my Type S at 5700 miles last year and it smoothed it out noticeably...and again it was a practically new car with no 3rd gear issues. There is nothing wrong with what your doing, but it shifts so nice and smooth with the GM stuff just thought I would mention it :-)

Yea, it's worth paying an expert to apply the Xpel.

Thank man..took me a while to find the right size filter lol.
Thanks man
Exactly, I didn't want to get a real CAI cause it was about 5 / 6 inches longer and due to being scared of Hydrolock I did the DIY CAI instead.
