Agreed, but the insurance company will make that call.

since you already have the parts from your current bumper (mounting bracket and all) would it make sense for you to do the bumper swap yourself?

save you a day and probably $50 in installation or something.

If I'm paying the deductible, I'm going to let the experts do the work. I really don't want to fool with it anyway (coward!).

lol@ titan lift kit.

I could be the first on the block!

Bring a towel to cover the knob while it's parked

happytheman · 03-14-2012, 05:08 PM

Yah I usually do! It's not summer yet damnit!

kenchan · 03-14-2012, 05:54 PM

get a bugsbunny driver (golf) cover.

happytheman · 03-14-2012, 06:05 PM

I think I'll get me one of these to cover the knob:

It seems that they've got yours made and ready for you Ken-San:

So I just finished my wash and she looks

I have a few specks of yellow line paint on my drivers side rocker panel. Noticed it last fall and I do recall having to drive by some fellas line painting shortly before it was originally discovered. Unfortunately it was unavoidable

The question I have for you guys is a simple one, IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO REMOVE THESE SPECKS?? Im guessing no. Also I got my front end replaced last fall after hitting a deer, or rather a deer hitting me! I got a new bumper and hood and boy is that bumper already chinged up, ugh!

I hate washing my car. Its too intimate. I notice all the little stuff that usually goes undetected.

Ughhh, I feel your pain man!

I wonder if a PC with a relatively coarse polishing compound will take those bits of yellow off?

I find that the QD AFTER the wash is where I see all the flaws.

yah, try WD40 and plastic razor or hard squeegee to shear it off. or rubbing alcohol and plastic razor or hard squeegee. if not, try claybar and lube.

also polish and random orbital will work use a semi-mild polish.

then wax afterwards.

In all seriousness, I just keep a short running sock in the console for this purpose.
My Miata has a polished stainless knob that would get ridiculous if I parked it with the top down.

Baer383 · 03-14-2012, 09:22 PM

I wired up both of my cooling fans 1 for my oil cooler and 1 for my trans cooler.
