It is good until March of 2012 or 82k I have 62.5k so I will run out on time first. It has been a good purchase....I have used it several times and I'm sure it has paid for itself thankfully !
mine is 6 yrs/100,000.... Ive used it but 3 years and only 10,000 =/- miles, I would never even get close, ah but my rims are also covered.... very important when you run the GTs. had one taken care of allready now i need to get the rear pass side.

Hey, how do some of you peeps have IPOD running thru your radio ? Is there a way to connect a cable to the head unit although Im Boise ? I havent found a good (station) type one that sounds good. Everyone I have heard you can hear the static in the background from the empty station.

Yeah, i have kinda heard that the early Bose not so swell with add on stuff. I think Im getting that crackle sound out of the pass side speaker. I read a thread that its a problem with the bose and the easy fix, but since I have coverage...... Courtesy will handle it.

Hey Jake,,,,I never got around to getting with ya about the baby boys 240 rear coils, well when Pat came to our rescue on the radiator he said lets just slap the oem in while he was there, we get drivers done, putting in passenger and my boy Robert snapped off one of the bolts Now we are back tp piece of **** Tiens that ride like the little red wagon it is ! Question for you. I think he should just get new shocks and lowering springs... hes not tracking and better not be F ing around on the streets. Im finding it difficult to find lowering springs with a mild drop.Some are as much as 2.5-3.25 Im thinking 1-1.5, can a new OEM shock take that kind of drop, and Im not really understanding the spring rates He really just wants a nice look, and a decent ride
He already has the front caster camber taken care of, so we would just need to get ???? is needed for allignment. let me know your thoughts

He snapped one of the bolts at the top of the spring. Courtesy was the only place that had it and you have to replace that entire upper spring mount and they wanted over $40 for it.

Well after a few hours, we was able to get some work done last night. I'll have pictures later throughout the day of everything. Haltech and CJM Stage 3 Fuel system has been installed. Exhaust, driveshaft, radiator, intake, A/C, and front bumper are all done. Tonight we will be pulling the motor and start getting everything ready... Have a good days guys!!

Well she was coming to Dallas the next day and figured she would ask me. She loves her mom !
They did a crappy job is what they did. Caked wax in the key holes , and they just waxed over everything even some sap.
Now my understanding is you dont clay, swirl, or wax the 3M...is that correct ?
well I get out clay bar, get most of spots, get sap then used swirl X and goy the rest of the bad spots but when my clay spray runs down to the 3M it starts to haze up ....then I look closer and I see left behind wax along the edges....those SOBs waxed her clear rock guard !!!!!!
Luckly with car soap and pretty warm water (repeatedly) I was able to get most of it clear again.
I had her go and get her money back.

So am I correct that you do not wax or put anything on the clear rock guards?
I wouldn't wax it like you said because it gets caught on the edges. I use my sealant on it though because it's clear. I don't think it can hurt and I would hope it would protect it and prevent yellowing. I actually did a Porsche this summer with the clear bra on the rear fenders and one of them had been painted over, no joke.
