The view is wider and image much larger then squinting to see what's in the 1.25" convex. I was also curious if they'd be too dark due to the bluing when viewed through tint, they are not, the blue mostly goes away and the image is clear. I haven't driven at night yet to comment on the anti-glare feature. The drivers side took some experimenting with attachment tape as Zooms are shaped for dual convex lenses on the JMD models; whereas, our US Model only has it on the passenger side. I also found self adhesive micro suede and covered the interior A-pilars which helps match the dash mat and plastic trim above the door sill plate that the wife's stiletto's likes to scratch up.  I may attempt to do the headliner with it as well as the material is very forgiving to work with which was a pleasant surprise.

Changed just the oil today with cheaper Synthetic instead of Amsoil for winter hibernation. Off the ramps and into the garage and on the trickle charger.
Took a drive around the city with the dog, got gas to top off and added Stabil. Going to be 30s and 40s from here on out in Iowa.

Saturday, I replaced my handbrake hardware on the rear axle. turns out i was down to the metal on the parking brake, lol. Unfortunately that warped my 2 piece hat and i couldn't get it on after installing the new hardware and shoes. Thankfully I had some used blanks from my mom's car, so i cleaned them up and threw them on. i'll probably just go to regular 1-piece slotted in the rear when i refresh the rotors next year.
I had the front wheel clicking sound for a while and finally fixed that. The hub ring was seized onto the hub itself, so I had to cut it off. Took the rotor off and did a quick clean and used some copper grease before putting evertything back together. It's much better. The passenger side was not as bad, but I cleaned around the hub and greased it as well. Currently running 93-octane and the car just feels SLOW haha. Small price to pay to keep everything running well. I'll go back to E85 once that tank is done. |

Took it to the shop since getting slipping on 2nd/3rd gear 3500-4500 rpm. Looks like my Os Giken STR only lasted about 19 months and 4-5k miles and now needs a rebuild. :\
At least my Z1 sunshade came after 2 months (got it last week after ordering Sep 7). |

Picking the body kit tomorrow. Went with black all black on the wing instead of the gray, and small difference in how the side skirt two-tone is done.
Bonus: client’s 190E Evo II with center lock and AP BBK is heading back home. Shop is using that real one as measurement to build a clone for the same owner.
