Great score on the clear side markers Omar! :thumbsup

[Alikessu]

Thanks
Was wondering what I need to fix the hood lever on my hood? is it missing a seal? or do I need a new part.
you can see the lever sticking out a little above the front Liscence plate

If you are talking about the hood release it happens when ppl yank on it when the hood is still locked--it gets bent. Just live with it or look at replacing it. Good idea to lube the whole latch so it doesn't get stuck in the locked position.

Try the look without that black front license plate (the one you just bought), it might look better :).

Nice, it definitely does. Especially learning about your car and knowing how much money you save on labor. :thumbsup

I like the plates !

[NickZHP]

That is a great plate, I haven't seen that before. I might have to go get one myself...

[Alikessu]

Yeah Nick
I believe they just came out this year in the summer
it's a nice change from the old plate, but both are nice

well guys

Just talked to UUC about the new exhaust Tse4, they said they are shooting for the end of this year for the release
it will be more competitively priced and about the same sounds. So i am thinking of waiting for the new Exhaust
before buying. But i ordered the Ucc Evo3 Short Shift kit with the DSSR $475.00 plus shipping

Should be getting the aFe Stage 1 air intake i bought from Vas with the Stett Performance boots on Thursday
so that and the SSK kit should give me something to work on in the next week or so. Untill the new exhaust
start shipping hopefully next month.

Good luck with the SSK from UUC. They sent me the wrong kit but it took them awhile to acknowledge their mistake. I still think I might have the wrong DSSR in there. Here's to you getting the right fitment from them on the first try!

[Alikessu]

I hope so to
i talked to the rep and told him i had the 06 ZHP 6MT and he knew the car, said he had the same 04
i hope they get it right. will take pics of the one i get before install to get your feedback thaks

it was much easier to install the boots because they were broken in
