Hi, I've been meaning to post earlier. :lurk

I purchased a 2004 ZHP titanium silver sedan with a manual transmission in September. First manual car. It had 101,000 miles at the time. It has heated seats with the "alcanteara" interior. The combo has proven very nice in the winter time.

I had some much needed maintenance done on it at some indy shops over the months. Unfortunately I never got around to tinkering with cars, so I didn't feel comfortable fixing any of it. Besides this a couple of months into ownership, something fell on the roof. :( It created a decent sized dent, and some scratches. I had it fixed a few days after. Last picture shows the majority of the damage.

Next maintenance coming up will be O2 sensors and steering wheel sensor. My mechanic also recommended rear shock mounts soon-ish, so I have ordered some AKG mounts.

Hoping this year will be smoother. Happy motoring :biggrin

Welcome! Sorry to hear about the roof, that's very annoying.

You might consider Rogue Engineering's rear shock mounts if you can cancel your current order. If not, I'm sure what you bought will do just fine.

Thanks all.

Agree about the titanium silver, though there are many good color options.

Yeah, I already received the mounts. I saw the Rogue Engineering mounts, but was willing to give the AKG ones a try. They look like a very high quality set of mounts and the company is local.

They look like the ones posted here, except the silver cap/ends? on the back are flat instead of curved:

Let me know if you want more. I can take a few pictures.
