What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[M0nk3y]

Thanks, and I agree. It can't be a coincidence that the perf. diffuser perfectly fits the perf. exhaust, yet it looks ridiculous without it. For now I like it without the spoiler as it's very understated, but the spoiler itself isn't over the top, either.



Well then you're one listen away from buying it! Don't listen to it!!!!

I've already listened to it in person.

There was an E82 128i with a PE installed that ran autocross with us. Sooooo good

I don't believe he does because he doesn't have a car to mess with all the time. However we both do have the software for it but not the hardware that is required for it. Not sure if that made sense. In due time I'll get everything that is needed for such a task. ATM I am trying to figure out how to code the new F series.

well... I still need to finish building the new engine, then swap that in, then install a 5 speed and 3.91 LSD, then install a big brake kit, and maybe some paint somewhere in there

Good luck! Worst case scenario, if you have to pull the tint, have that done and retint it with Llumar Air Blue 80... As soon as I replace my windshield, I'll be doing that. Almost completely clear, but rejects heat and UV like no other!!

Thanks!

I almost went with a different 3M product that has similar properties to what you are talking about. But it was lighter and cost over twice as much. If I have to do it twice though, it would have been the better deal X-/

[JupiterBMW]

...3M product ...cost over twice as much...

EXACTLY... After researching tint a whole bunch, I found that 3M was so ridiculously overpriced for what it is. I went with Llumar (their FormulaOne Pinnacle line to be exact) and am so happy, and it has a lifetime warranty! :)

What I have on my windshield now is also a 3M product. As are the rest of the windows, it wasn't too bad overall, but that fancy heat reflecting tint was twice as much as the regular 3M film. The guy at the shop said it would have a "bronze" look to it, which is another reason I went with regular tint. Bronze windshield on Imola Red with regular (black) other window's didn't sound too good to me.

I'll check into that film your talking about on the next car!

Ceramic does have a reflective type material on the film, but no bronze.

I have Madico Advance Ceramic on both of the cars, and I wouldn't go with anything else, IMO. Once you go ceramic film, and realize the heat rejection over standard film...the difference is incredible.

Yes, but they are not DOT approved.

They are plug-n-play, and so much easier than trying to mount the clear lenses on my old ZHP sedan.

Edit: I paid $360 for mine about a year ago, so they're cheaper than either the CF spoiler or side skirts if that's a consideration.

[zhpnsnv]

Same quality? Why not dot approved? Any issues from that?

[1 M Mike]

Same quality? Why not dot approved? Any issues from that?
Yeah, quality is excellent. Not DOT approved because they are tinted. They can only be sold by local vendors for off-road use.

I think you can get them from ECS Tuning now as well Shmiedmann. Part # is 63212225282 if ordering on-line from Schmiedmann.

Edit: Yep, you can get them from ECS at this (http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E82-135i-N55_3.0L/Lighting/Tail_Light/ES2550272/) linky, but I think they're a little more expensive than the Shmiedmann variant.

Love Imola Red! I swear that's what he said about that particular 3M film he had, perhaps he misspoke or I misheard. Heat reflectivity isn't too important when you park in garages all of the time. If my car had skin pigment it would be very pale!

On my side, drained some garbage BMW 5W30 that looked like crude oil, and filled her up with German Castrol 0W30 from Amazon with a new filter and a new magnetic drain plug. This oil is a little more expensive, but I wanted to try it out given my high mileage. Of course, the engine was super smooth right after the fill, but let's see how it ages. I'll be sending in a sample of my old oil to Blackstone.

I FINALLY got my car paid off so I figured I had to splurge on something, so I got some Silver cube trim for the dash and shifter surround along with a few other goodies. I was a bit surprised that it isn't as 'silver' as I expected. Is that the way everyone else's looks?

http://mrmaico.smugmug.com/Cars/BMW-333Ci/i-9QP2kWF/0/L/IMG_1890-L.jpg

I'll need to get it out into the sunshine to really see how it looks but it sure looks nice to add something a little lighter to the all black dash. I can't ever see myself spending another $500 for just the front armrests plus another $350 for the rears so it's a good thing that this is a darker silver.......makes a better match to the black armrests. Or maybe I'll run across some good used ones sometime.:-)

I don't know how everybody else does it but it was a BITCH to get the old ones off! they fit the fasteners so damn tight. I had a couple of the red grommets pull out of the dash rather than the pin coming out of it like it should. I even damaged the lower right corner of the passenger side piece getting it off but it looks like I can straighten it out ok should I ever decide to sell the black.

Yes, your hunch is correct - newer silver cube trim is a different shade. It's very noticeably darker, it will not match the older more silver trim so be careful what you buy:

http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?9699-Silver-cube-trim-different-shades&highlight=Silver+cube+trim+shades

Yep! It was a huge PITA for me as well. I also pull the securing grommets out every time, but I've mastered it except for that center dash pin near the steering wheel. I've probably pulled the trim out about 6-8 times now and never broke anything until yesterday.

[Hermes]

this darker shade looks like the GTR version... maybe I'll buy some now

[BavarianZHP]

Seeing both side by side in-person, I prefer the darker shade. It's really cool - adds a lot of depth.

[johnrando]

I like the darker silver cube, I'd run that.

[JupiterBMW]

Agreed with the others... The darker silver cube is very nice! If you decide to sell the black stuff, I'd probably be up for the center dash piece, the one that runs across the top of the nav screen. :)

And most importantly, congrats on the final payment!!

[BavarianZHP]

I've been smelling this awful stench in my garage for the past 3-4 days. It's a one car garage attached to the apartment and there's no lights - it's completely dark. After a while, I complained to my brother since the smell was getting only worse with each passing day. He looked around after I backed out, but didn't find anything. I left the garage open that day to air it out as my car smells fine outside and inside, so I knew something was fishy in there. I suspected some homeless bum spilled his drink, threw up or did something even worse; but I have been diligently locking it up every single time. After all, we did find a homeless guy camping out there a few times before (if we left the door closed but unlocked).

Now I'm installing my clears today and the smell is horrendous, I'm trying to breathe in small quick breaths. WTF? Where is it coming from? What could it be? I look under the car half-suspecting to be greeted by a heavily decomposing carcass, but find nothing. Whew - I knew I never hit anything. I install the right side and reach down to grab the left side lights. That's when I see it. A 6-7 inch long rat (not including tail) with a shoe print on it. I almost threw up on the spot. It must have died, and either my brother or I (I really suspect it was me since I traverse there frequently) stepped right into it without noticing. I almost grabbed the thing! I actually set my clear lights in a freaking circle around it in the dark! LOL. I quickly did the other side (now really careful where I was stepping), then got the hell out of there.

Ugh now I have to look forward to removing it somehow. I think I may have contracted some rat disease the way I feel... What really worries me is that I now know I have a rat infested garage = no good way to store your car. My parents had to deal with mice in their garage and it was hell... Time to place mouse traps I guess.

[BavarianZHP]

Oh, I was going to snap a pic to show everyone but I guess I should respect the dead... LOL.

[johnrando]

Use peanut butter on the traps, you can also put a little cheese on it. They say the best way is to actually use PB on the traps without setting them. Then, the rats gets used to it, aren't afraid, and then they go after them quicker, so when you actually set the traps, they are more effective. I'm not that patient so I'd just set multiple traps with PB.

This is the other side. It resembles the "newer ones" I've seen talked about in some of the coding threads. I bought it from the link you provided, but who knows what's in production in China from one week to the next. Let me know if you think there's problems.

I'm pretty sure I'm not ready to dive in yet. Is there some of the software loading and stuff I should do ahead of time? Is the car going to want to be on a battery charger while coding? I'm starting a new job tomorrow, and for the first few weeks at least, I'm scheduled 5:00 pm to 1:00 am, Wed-Sunday, so my window of opportunity is going to be Monday and Tuesday evenings, it seems.

What happened?!?

Wow that's terrible news. I hope everyone is OK...


Woah, that sucks, dude. What happened?

Thanks for the kind words.

Everyone is fine; I was the only one in my car. Shared fault though the police recorded it as being all mine. In a nut shell- four way intersection with only two stop signs. Older lady had the right of way, but it was raining and she was in a gray Ford Focus and didn't have her lights on. I didn't see her and got t-boned at ~20-30mph.

Unfortunately, if I had been more insistent with police (as to putting the light aspect in the report) I believe this would have been recorded as shared fault, because in NJ (where the accident was) lights are required by law in rain.

They talked to her most of the time and didn't write down what I told them.

So I take the fact that I'm okay and learned some lessons.

What sucks is that I was about 5 minutes from NJMP and was about to participate in my first HPDE.


Not a very nice teaser. Sorry for your loss my friend.

A pillar crushed is the main reason for it being totaled. Will post up the number so y'all have an idea of the going rate once I get the settlement figure.

RIP to (probably) the only no sunroof ZHP coupe in existence. I will miss it.

Damn. Doesn't even look that bad, either. Sorry to hear the police are being unreasonable. I could imagine it would be hard as shit to see a grey car w/out lights in the rain.

Shipping is a lot from NJ. I'd have to sell my car first. Somebody local would be able to bid much higher than me because they wouldn't have to eat as much shipping as I would.

Plus, last time I said something along the lines of buying someones salvaged ZHP, they got really upset, so if I would ever consider such a thing, it would most likely be a private discussion. Although, the damage isn't much.

[Newjack]

My ZHP was declared a total loss today. :(

Really sucks man. This has been a bad month for a lot of people on the forum it seems. Just glad you're OK.

[johnrando]

So sorry to hear that.

[Imola.ZHP]

Sorry for your loss, that is one beautiful ZHP.

I would be pretty distraught if my car got damaged, but at the same time, I wouldn't want a "fixed" car either. I've had other cars in the past "fixed" from hail damage, minor accidents, etc and IMO they are never quite the same. Perhaps mine were all just fixed at crappy body shops, but with this car, if something happens to her I want it to be bad enough that she gets taken away. What would I get? Another one just like her!

Have you thought about what you will be replacing her with? Another ZHP?!

Glad no one was seriously injured, in this sue-happy world we live in, injuries (real or fake) can be an even bigger source of headache for someone found at fault. If you were ticketed, I would attempt to go to court and plead your case that she did not have her headlights on. TN has the same law, if your windshield wipers are on, your headlights are to be on.

----------------

As for me and my ZHP, I drove it for the first time in a week today/night to work! With only one headlight, I'm probably going to have time (at work) to swap bulbs shortly to verify the bulb is fine and its just a ballast.

What is the best course of action to replace a ballast (assuming it is the culprit, not the bulb)?

[Imola.ZHP]

Ok, so I swapped bulbs (twice just to be sure), bulbs are fine! So I swapped ballasts, no problem, so the ballasts are fine!

According to ECS's website the only thing I did try was swapping ignightor's. I didn't really see a way to do it and I ran out of time anyway. Can someone chime in that has either had to replace an ignightor or that is just familiar with the disassembly of KW headlights point me to a video or a DIY that might include removal and/or replacement of an ignightor?

I see some ignightor's on eBay, I didn't see if they were OEM or not, any words of caution? Or any other source of a new or used ignightor?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Found this link... http://www.bigpatsfans.com/hl/headlight.htm

Pretty good instructions, looks like this is going to be a PITA though. Didn't someone on here have a YouTube video for ZKW lense swap into AL's? And since I'm goin in, I might as well do that swap too, right? Where is a good place to get ZKW lenses? Thanks!!

[danewilson77]

Joop did a swap video. I also have a pretty simple DIY.

You can get zkw lenses at retrofitlightsource

GL in finding a replacement.

[JupiterBMW]

Damn Derek, sorry to hear of the awful news. The only consolation I can offer was that I know how you felt when I lost my ZHP, which I thought was completely irreplaceable... Not only did I replace it with an almost identical car, but the second one I got was even better than the first in MANY aspects... You're ok, the car is just that, only a car... Life will go on. Make sure to fight like hell with insurance to get the max value. If you need, I can forward you the emails and information I provided to my insurance... It got me an extra $2k out of them.

Better salvage everything that can be used or sold before the insurance company comes and take it away.......

Might buy it back... I took the big parts (my wheels and the stereo) but there is so much miscellaneous stuff. Coby wheel shift boots- M3 steering wheel, upgraded BMW sway bars, new shocks/struts/mounts, Vanos, Stewart WP, you get the idea. But all in all that really is little stuff and I may be better of just walking away.


Shipping is a lot from NJ. I'd have to sell my car first. Somebody local would be able to bid much higher than me because they wouldn't have to eat as much shipping as I would.

Plus, last time I said something along the lines of buying someones salvaged ZHP, they got really upset, so if I would ever consider such a thing, it would most likely be a private discussion. Although, the damage isn't much.

Not upset. I'd love to see it back on the road! If you did- put it back on the road- I'd love to take it for a drive one more time if I'm ever out your way.

Unfortunately it's not just the door/fender. The lower rail that goes under the door sill is bent in and the base of the A pillar is destroyed. The body shop was talking about ordering the whole side panel- from rear quarter to front fender- that BMW sells and welding it in. Just letting you know what you'd face.


Really sucks man. This has been a bad month for a lot of people on the forum it seems. Just glad you're OK.


So sorry to hear that.

Thanks guys.

Another one just like her!

Have you thought about what you will be replacing her with? Another ZHP?!


Yeah, I'm getting another ZHP. It will be my 3rd (sold the other one last year). I looked at all other options and nothing really fits the bill. The only car I truly want more is a 981 (2014) Boxster/Cayman S which is not in the cards financially. The other outside possibility is the an M3 convertible- but maintenance costs more, there are Vanos risks and such as well.

I know what you mean. I'm partially relieved that it's totaled- body shops are a pain and things often need to be taken back. For this case they would have had to cut off a side of the car and weld it back in, pull the dash etc. While that kind of work can be done perfectly so you'd never know... the chances of it being fixed perfectly are very slim.

I really just wish it had never happened.

[zhpnsnv]

Ugh, sorry about the accident. Glad you're okay. Good luck with your new ZHP search.

So sorry to hear, glad you're ok. The blow that killed my E32 was very similar but a bit more forward on the car. Hopefully you can buy it back so you can salvage your parts.

[Imola.ZHP]

Ok guys, here is what I decided to do...

Since the thought of a used ignitor (at only a +/- 30% discount from new) has me worried that I would eventually have to replace it (the used ignitor) again, I've decided just to oder a new one from ECS ($100). I'll go ahead and order the seal/strainer for my windshield washer pump too and ZKW lenses from theretrofitsource.com ($40).

I have a question though, when I was swapping parts this morning between headlights to narrow down the issue (bulb, ignitor or ballast) I noticed that my bulbs were stained slightly on the bottom side. I didn't think much of it at the time, but as I've been researching the ZKW swap, someone on another forum was talking about theirs having this discoloration at the bottom. The attached picture is not of my bulbs, mine are not as bad as these, but should they be replaced too? It might have to wait until next month, but I'll go ahead and put it on the radar if I'm going to need them. Mine have no brown, just slightly milky white/yellow more like the bulb pictured on the right.

The days of $1000 maintenance will never end if you keep buying parts for little things like "my bulbs are slightly discolored"... :rofl

Its just a lightbulb, run it until it dies, THEN replace it... If you can see at night, the bulb is just fine.

[zhp43867]

Hey Imola.ZHP- I have extra Phillips bulbs that aren't physically discolored (though a bit old) somewhere if you want me to try and track them down. You can have them.

I agree, not at the top of my list of "must do now's" but the worn out front suspension is pretty high priority so I can get it aligned (still haven't aligned since replacing RTAB's). That Pilot Super Sport showing metal on the back is kind of a big deal too. Oh and the non functional headlight, that is the biggie!

I'm still thankful that I have no car note though! She's been paid off for nearly 3 years! At $500/month, one could say I've "saved" $18,000!

I think that is exactly what I am going to do.

I originally bought these to put on the 318is as my wife and I have been using it more and while I love the stock weaves, I wanted something different. Then just yesterday my daughter finally shows some interest in learning to drive a stick - amazing what a day at the historic races at Sonoma will do - I now can't risk rubbing or ruining these babies, so on to the 2002 it appears they are headed.

Now to decide which tires at 205/55/15 - any input would be fantastic!

[ICTZHP]

I've been out of town on business for a few weeks. When I got home, I had refurbished ZKW headlights for the ZHP waiting to be put back in the car. I sent them to LightModz to have the projectors replaced. They did a fantastic job and the turn-around time was excellent. If anyone is considering having this done, I highly recommend LightModz. Jay (at LightModz) sent some photos that I can post when I get home tonight if anyone is interested.

In addition to the headlights, I did a full detail on my X5 and have that on the agenda for this weekend for my wife's 335i. Don't worry, the ZHP has not been neglected. Its full detail happened a couple weeks ago, ahead of its newer stable mates!

[fredo]

May I ask the cost for refurbished ZKW headlights ?

[LivesNearCostco]

On Wednesday replaced front brake pads and outer rear brake pads (replaced inner rear brake pads in April because old ones were gone but only on inner pads). The fronts still had 2-3mm left and rear outers had 3-4mm, but I have a track day Sunday and they started screeching after my last track day. Anyway, good to know I now have plenty of pad.

I couldn't find the minimum rotor thickness stamped on the rear rotors. Fronts are clearly marked 23.4mm and mine still have 24.1mm left. Anyone know what the rear minimum is?

[ICTZHP]

May I ask the cost for refurbished ZKW headlights ?

No problem, I had to ship the assemblies with the burnt bowls and they replaced the projector units. The cost for the parts and labor was $600. Then add shipping both directions. I would not say that it was inexpensive, but the work was excellent and I am extremely pleased with the results. When the headlights got back, all I had to do was remount them in the car.

I had read many threads about doing it myself, but decided that I did not have the time to do the work. So, I took the quick and easy route. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Looks like that micro filter has plenty of life left in it, not. Could have hit it with air to buy some time

[3ZHP]

That was after hitting it with compressed air

[BCS_ZHP]

Notice how the new filter has more ridges than the old? I first saw that about 2-1/2 to 3 years ago, so that'll give you an idea on the age of your micro filter.

[3ZHP]

Don't remind me, I've personally put over 100K on this car and never changed it before today. Have to see what I do with the Vert because, most of the time the tops down.

Side and specs?! And what the hell man, you can't post teasers like that with no pics!

They aren't going on my car yet. My Mom has an E90 that had 19' VMR CSLs, but she got a flat last week so we picked up this set which is pretty much new. We're going to run them on the E90 temporarily until we find a good set of OEM wheels locally for the E90. As soon as that happens, they'll be put on my car. I'm hoping to have them on my car ASAP. It's going to look awesome, I must say.

I suppose I should've mentioned, I gave the car a bath yesterday, she needed it. Plans for one more extensive detail before I leave...

[Imola.ZHP]

Drove it!

First time since getting off of work at 8am on Friday. She frustrates me sometimes, but damn I love her! Nothing like blasting down the interstate (very light traffic, nothing crazy) to make all of the stress in your life disappear, if only for a few moments.

Big ECS order says it will ship on the 20th. Fixing my non-working headlight is TOP priority. ZKW lenses going in at the same time (have to disassemble the headlight to replace the ignitor, might as well!). I need to maximize my light output with the tinted windshield, love how it reduces glare and oncoming headlights though.

Back to DAT studies!

[SoCalZman]

My crystalline tint is all in and dry I am loving it. Very clear. I would take pictures but its so clear that it would look just like a normal window

Oddly though, my keyless entry stopped working yesterday. For both keys. Taking someone to the airport this morning the keys still didn't work so I had to use the key itself (gasp!). When I got home I tried to lock the car with the remote and it still didn't work. I went inside to get ready for work then went outside to try it one more time and possibly try the sync/reset procedure I found via google. NOW, both remotes work fine without doing anything other than pressing the lock button. All buttons responded after that. Odd, huh?

[Torxuvin]

Restored the black trim on the ZHP. No good pictures as she's back in the parking garage now.

Thanks! I have some tips for when anyone else is going to do this:
- when installing the piece of metal into the firewall so that you can screw the siren there, I couldn't get it to snap in. After wrestling with it and almost dropping it a few times, I grabbed a wrench and squeezed the metal tabs in a bit. That allowed it to snap into place.
- it was very difficult to screw the siren in after that because my ratchet kept hitting metal or the blower box. I wish I had a very long extension or long flexible extension.

Now a question. I just realized i didn't pay attention to which direction i reinstalled the cabin air filter (clean side up or down) due to the looming darkness and fog. Does it only install one way? What side should the clean side of the filter go, up or down? I need to check when I get home.

Now a question. I just realized i didn't pay attention to which direction i reinstalled the cabin air filter (clean side up or down) due to the looming darkness and fog. Does it only install one way? What side should the clean side of the filter go, up or down? I need to check when I get home.

The cabin air filter should only fit in one way, unless you forced the shit outta it, and if that's the case, you'd probably know it wasn't right. So, if it went in without much trouble, its probably correct. That being said, on the outer edges, there are small tabs that fit into a recess in the "tracks" that it slides on. They will match up. Again, check the tracks on the two sides that the filter sits on, you'll see what I mean.

Thanks. I definitely didn't force it in. I just remember seeing some pollen in the container of the filter and it seemed like the dirty side should e facing down if so. I guess some just got past the filter.

I am not usually a fan of black (or chrome) wheels but these hit the sweet spot! Good choice.

Wow, thanks for the link Dane. I read every word. I can't even imagine something like that happening... unbelievable.

We had the rear on race ramps, e brake on, in gear, tires chalked, etc. But certainly even more attention will be paid regardless.

I'm not sure if this might already exist, but I think it would be a good idea to have a stickied thread of safe jacking procedure for our cars, updated with info for every method (lift, jackstands, OEM jack, floor jack, ramps, etc.)

[SoCalZman]

Haha, I think the 100 bucks was just for the alarm. They have always asked for more money when I asked them about other coding options so I said no.

I knew I would get a ribbing for this but I wanted to post anyway. If I would have known people in the Bay Area could help me code stuff like the alarm I would not have gone to the dealer for it. Yes, Pip I would love to code some more things on the car such as the stage 3 brake lights, convience closing via remote, etc etc, but I am frankly scared to use any of the coding software without some experienced supervision and "bricking" my car. Do you know how to do that kind of stuff?

[ryankokesh]

Got my AKG fcab's in, as well as some new front rotors and pads (old ones were a little warped). Waiting at the local tire place for an alignment and hopefully I'll be good to go! Install went surprisingly well, except for the slight issue I had getting one of the old bushings off. It was definitely shot.

I have a Mystic Blue Metallic and the black mouldings do not really provide any contrast. That's the reason I will have my mouldings painted. I have a set of all around sedan mouldings that still needs to be prepped and painted.

After cleaning up the threads in your hubs, apply some anti-seize compound to each of your lug bolts and it all should come apart easier next time.

Opened my trunk yesterday, and almost ripped the handle from the lid. I took it off today only to find that half of the mounting points had been ripped off. I decided to try epoxying it back together before I give in and spend the $80 on a new handle. Luckily, it seems to have worked. The handle is back together, and actually feels more stable than it did before. Hopefully it will stay that way.

For anyone with the same issue, you will need some Permatex Plastic Weld. (This is some super strong stuff and sets up super fast, so move quick)
http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab207/niart906/null-41.jpg

Broken Handle: (there should be plastic in that hole)
http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab207/niart906/null-39.jpg

Apply the epoxy liberally to the cracked plastic. Some of mine had actually snapped off, so carefull apply some of the epoxy to the pieces of plastic before placing them back on the handle. Allow to dry for at least 30min.

This stuff is kinda messy so it will look something like this:

Once dry, use some sand paper to knock down the extra epoxy. I used this stone sanding attachment for a drill.

Really? All of the other cars I've owned have had studs, seemed like their wheels would get chewed up by the studs when putting wheels on or taking them off. Perhaps this was just "user error" though.

The lug bolts can be challenging at times, but overall I think I prefer them myself.

[E_Rak]

Evan, After cleaning up the threads in your hubs, apply some anti-seize compound to each of your lug bolts and it all should come apart easier next time.

I wire-wheeled the old bolts to be re-used, painted all the heads, chased the threads in the hubs, and applied some anti-seize shtuff.

Studs are something I have seriously considered, if I get a ZHP that i track a lot I'll look into it!

Just popped in the new seal/screen for the windshield washer pump, hopefully that cures the leak!

Out of all of my new parts from ECS, this one tiny part is all I have time to install right now. I do have a question though, I ordered new CA's from ECS as "genuine BMW" however, I recall my current CA's having ///M etched into them. These new ones are nice and light, but do not have this marking. Did they quit doing this? Or did I get the wrong CA's?

For reference, the link to the products are above, in their pictures they don't show these markings either. Should I be concerned? I paid ~OEM price, so I expected OEM parts. I could have went aftermarket and saved money, so if these are aftermarket, I'm going to be a little upset.

I could definitely be wrong, but I always thought you were supposed to keep anti-seize off the lugs?

[E_Rak]

I could definitely be wrong, but I always thought you were supposed to keep anti-seize off the lugs?

A lot of internet warriors will say to keep it away, but tech's opinions can differ. Three experienced techs at the dealership I work for agreed that some compound on the lugs was a good idea to solve my sticking problem. I'm sure there are situations in which nothing should be applied though.

It looks like you got the standard CA's rather than the ZHP arms. Part numbers should be 31122282121 and 31122282122. Mine didn't have ///M etched into them but it was on a blue sticker on both my old ones and the new ones. Here's a pic of one of my old ones........
