Did you buy yours new? I think with some of the commonly known problems (HPFP is a good example) people get scared of reliability problems when getting to higher miles, but I’m thinking they will be solid with normal maintenance. Hell, the common stuff was covered under warranty anyway…

Your headlight leveling… did the little arm come off on the suspension that tells it how to move. Its on the drivers side control arm. I think there is a rear one also FYI.
Be careful with the battery replacement, it should/needs to be coded to the car, there is a process for this I guess, OEM battery is not cheap either FYI.
Xander had the JB3 before, he now has a procede as do I. I prefer the procede over the JB, the cobb seems to be making up some ground finally on the user maps and tuning too though.

Checked the parts that hook to the suspension and all was good, the pass side hl is fixable , drivers side isn’t as the adjuster inside is broken ☹

Can you explain how you did the molding? Did you remove everything and “dip” it? Brush applied? Where did you buy the plasti-dip from?

I always found aerosol spray cans of Plasti-Dip to work best. I cannot speak to the OP’s methods however.
I always find it at Home Depot.

They make plasti-dip spray you goose. Lowes/HD has it in stock. No prep needed and you can peel it off if you don’t like it. :tup:
