Wow, nice and shiny. Comes to think of it. I have not wash mine since Christmas. There were a couple heavy rain storms around here and that helps. :smile (2):

Thanks for reminding me that I've been neglecting mine lately. She's filthy and I haven't taken her on a road trip in a while. =(

Thank you Chris !! I got the Thule racks instead since I had issues with the delivery after i had ordered the Yakimas but I'm very happy with the Thules !! I haven't been to Whiteface in a few years so I'm very excited to ski there soon :smile (2):

Ride is so clean, you can eat off of it!!!
 
Just got back from a relaxing of spending quality time with my FX.

-Wash and a half assed detail. (its raining out, im not going to do every nook and cranny).
-Installed my 6000k Headlight bulbs
-Tinted my Rear reflectors and 3rd brakelight


I also failed miserably and attempting to install my HID fog lights. I decided it wasnt worth the hassle after I finally decided I would need to take the entire front bumper off. I called a guy who said he would only charge me $45 to put them in and he said I could watch if I wanted to. Sounds far more convenient for me to let this one slide to a pro.

Oh I also found at that the previous owners method for Ipod gateway is actually an Isimple gateway. I found the unit tucked in a precarious place under the steering wheel.

Im going to pull it all out tomorrow and set it up with an AUX input.

Yep, no need to take the bumper off to install HID fog. Undo a couple of bolts from the belly pan and wheel well and then reach in.
 
I tried doing it that way, but I cant really see what I am doing and dont really have enough room.

Might give it another try tomorrow since you guys say I can from there. If I cant do it, then Ill take it to a pro.
 
If its only 45 hes charging
Maybe pro is better option ^^

Yeah, lol I got a bit lazy when he told me he would do it for only $45.

I will give it a go again tomorrow though I think I just wasnt feeling it today. I am sick and one time I coughed while I was underneath the car and smoked my head on the area right under the wheel well. that hurt... :thumdown:
