Was warm out today so i decided to switch out the stock puddle lights to LED, was successful in doing so, but there
were complications.
This happened on the passenger side mirror, which was weird because I was more aggressive on the driver side, and no cracks there. Anyone know how hard it is to switch out the mirrors?

In this picture, you can see two things I did to my GS tonight. One good, one not!
I installed my splash guards but I had one lug nut that wouldn't torque down.
I was afraid of this and it snapped off. How big of a pain is this going to be? Is it much like any other car I've owned, take the caliper/rotor off, knock it out and press or use an old nut to pull it in? Anyone got a link to a DIY?

Upgraded trunk light to LED panel. Huge improvement.
Easy install: remove light cover, remove bulb, install new, replace cover, and see!
Have some extras for sale. If you want one, PM me.

Got my GS back from the dealership after 3 weeks. I've only owned the car for the same time period while it was in the shop. Had the 2 front parking sensors replaced because they kept setting the parking assist alarm off with out anything obstructing the front of the car. I also had the rear valance panel replaced because the passenger side exhaust duct appeared to be bent upwards. The dealership stated that none of my repairs were covered under my comprehensive warranty because they said I had prior knowledge that the car was involved in an accident. The service manager even brought out the carfax and pointed on the part where I signed off that I was shown about the collision and repair. I made him read the carfax again and point out the part that said the car was side swiped. I mentioned to him that no where did it say anything that the car had any front or rear collision damage. After 2 weeks of going back and forth with the service and sales manager; everything was replaced with nothing out of my pocket. Still trying to transition back to my GS while I had a 2018 ES as a loaner.

I actually did it last weekend, but I put new boots on the GS. I went with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. After a week of driving, I can say that this is one sticky tire. Every time I vary the slightest off the normal drive line, these things pick up gravel like a set of Hoosier race tires. Overall, I am extremely impressed. They obviously perform excellent in the dry, and I have yet to break them loose in the wet (but it is an AWD car!). Noise is reduced from the Michelin Primacy that was on the car. Only time will tell how these sticky boots will wear.
great tire; highly recommended.

FINALLY washed my car. My first time hand-washing it. I'm tired of the added cobweb scratches from the local car wash and am working on my hand washing technique/process.

Glad to see you got it back to looking good!
Installed a painted rear window spoiler yesterday, and experimented with some plastidip.
I wanted to do the chrome trim as well, but had to go somewhere, so was in a hurry which screwed up most of the paint when I took off the tape on the window trim and front grill. Going to have to redo it next weekend. The badges look OK though, didn't get a chance to put a coat of gloss on it. Hopefully I can tape it off a bit quicker this next time around, it took me two hours to prep it yesterday and still screwed it up .
