It's actually pretty early. I couldn't wait any longer to get the parts. My birthday is the 24th, but thanks!

I also got TorqueMaster spark plugs from Carson, but they haven't arrived yet. I hope they come soon.

I believe Carson and Sewell have been for quite a while now. I'm not sure though.

She's always been good to me, so it's time to return the favor. The only thing I'm questioning is, why they didn't include the tensioner with the idler in the timing belt kit. Guess I'll just have to go pick it up for full price at the local stealership.

The car rode absolutely perfect for about 45k miles. Front end was solid as a rock and then I hit a nasty pothole. I've put 48k miles on these new parts since I bought them in April. I have a slight shake between 65-80. I suspect that a wheel weight has fallen off and it's nothing suspension wise.

Always gotta take care of what takes care of you, yeah?

Updates... Hmm... Well, I'm waiting for these to come in the mail.



They're made by DEPO but I'm pretty sure that DEPO manufactures Insurance Group LED tails.

Also, I had a mishap with a mailbox backing out of a driveway in pitch blackness. I have a nice scratch and dent on the rear quarter panel and door now.... Oh well. I'll get that fixed when I go to get the car resprayed. I hope to do it in the next year or so, or maybe I'll save the money and grab a black on black GS430.

^^ By the way man, the look of your car is the look I'm going for. The black insert on your rear bumper, is it an actual insert or is the bumper painted. I painted that portion of my bumper and it's starting to chip. I also really need a TTE lip.
