I found some good priced exterior door shells here, but they are still $230 + shipping. idk if this is a project you would want to do yourself. Assuming you get the old door off (which I assume would be a pain in the ***), you would need to paint the new shell, and swap all the parts from the old door to the new one, and then re-install it. It would probably look a lot better/ save hours of your time if you had a shop do it. If you found someone willing to do it for $150, I would definitely go with them (assuming you trust them to do a good job).

Yeah I have a door that's already painted silverstone that I got from slidegood for a little under $500 shipped. Putting the interior panels and electronics back in it should be easy I just need the actual shell put on. It's over 50 pounds! Haha but yeah I was really close to selling it - actually had a buyer with check in hand but I had my mind changed by something and I'll tell you about that sometime

Hey guys. I just did an oil change last night and today my oil pressure fluctuates A LOT. it drops down to 30 psi and up to 90 psi under normal driving conditions, and at higher RPMs easily breaks 100psi. Before my oil change the pressure tended to sit consistently at or near 60psi. Does this just mean my old oil was really viscous or dirty, or did I mess something up during the change?
My old oil was Mobile 1 10w30 full synthetic.
My new oil is Mobile 1 5w30 full synthetic.
Changed old oil after apprx 4k miles.

So to answer your question.....yes I think it is normal for the oil gauge to do this.

ok, thanks. I was just curious because my old fluctuation was between 50-70 psi and now it fluctuates between 30-100 psi. i guess im just worrying over nothing, haha

Don't feel bad lol. My oil pressure sensor went out a couple of months ago so my gauge says I'm always running at over 120 psi lol. If I remember correctly, jakes doesn't even work.

It almost feels surreal to be back at work right now. Especially this early. This is normally my bed time lol and this site is already being annoying and giving me error messages.

Where do you work? I get to work at 6:30 every morning and it's the best experience ever. Granted I do just come to work and swim all day, haha

I work for an armed security company so I work at alot of different places at many different times of day and night. I usually work night shifts but for the next couple of weeks I'll be doing days at a bank in Frisco.

Yeppers. Jake did a badass job as usual. He got evrything on perfect and got the adjustments spot on. Car has a nice stance to it now with out being too low and the best part of it all is that he got it done with no rubbing anywhere after only a couple small height adjustments. He got the rear set perfectly on the first try actually then just had to bring the fronts down a little.
