almost went for a nice little cruise out here yesterday but then had some friends just randomly show up at my house so that kinda cancelled that idea. Gotta love how the weather is getting nicer. You guys are really trying to get me to buy some sways and end links with all this cruise talk. James you installed yours yet? how do you like them? ive been tryin to research them a little may have to jump on a set if Fluid ever gets back to me.

If anyone knows where I can get an OEM navi dash piece let me know. I'm looking for one. I haven't checked any junk yards or anywhere like that yet, and I have post up in the FS threads but no responses yet If you have one and want to sell it I am willing to trade my non-navi dash + cash.

Sweet Ryan, glad you got your lights fixed. I ordered the 6000K headlights the other day as well. Hopefully will be in when I get home. Vled is out of the fog lights I was on there yesterday and they were out of stock . I might have a lead on a navi hood finally though, I'm waiting for a PM.

Just ordered a bunch of goodies -- New pads, rotors, cabin air filter, brake/gear/diff fluids, and an AEM CAI... Ryan, I see you have the AEM; how did the install go?

Also, anyone want a K&N drop-in air filter? Used for about 50k miles and in good shape (recently cleaned and oiled)... Thinking $30.

Never removed the bumper before.

Oh that reminds me, I should get some RB oil cooler screens... and in the process comb out all the impacted fins.

nice goodies masked. i love spring time that seems to be the time i dump the most money into my 8, which could hold the same this year if i decide to go with some sway bars and end links. James, let me know how the talks on the end links go maybe if we buy more than one he will cut us a little break on pricing. Also, how long did your instal on the bars take? may have to have them shipped home and install there since i dont have any tools here.

Yep the AEM wasnt difficult like rodney said you just have to remove the frront bumper because of the s pipe and filter goes right on the other side of your front grill...I emailed vleds and they said there out of stock and gave me another part number H11_68_W_5K...guess there kinda similiar i dunno i havent checked the bulb yet but he said yes they are restocking on the normal fog lights I Just asked when they would be so he'll probably get back to me tomorrow....oh nice new mods masked!

the rears were easy but the fronts take a bit . if you don't have instructions on how to change the sways just goto hotchkis they have a pdf you can download. if you want you can always have them shipped here and you can use my garage.
