it's doing awesome so far! We set it up at my GF's house for now and got to watch UFC on it last night.
The picture on digital cable is pretty good, dvd is MUCH better, and I haven't gotten to test HD channels yet. (trying to talk her into ordering HD channels)

hey guys, how hard is it to align the hood?
Mine's been off slightly ever since I had it repaired and I don't think it's worth driving down to the shop if I can do it myself or with a little help.

I'll let you know, your install is going to take a little while.

The dealer called Friday and said they can't get 1st, 3rd, and 4th gear to work anymore, but the second gear syncro is fixed!

I told them that it had 6 gears when I dropped it off. They volunteered to replaced the transmission with a new one.

it'll definitely hurt the 10 hours i spent friday detailing... LOL.

not to mention that my neighbor saw me slaving away and came over and asked if i could help remove some some scratches off the fender well of his audi TT. guess i got some good neighbor brownie points for that one. but, too bad his hot daughter is already married. hahahaha. (oops did i say that out loud.)

:P

I'm assuming it'll be covered under warranty (as mine was) Rodger will probably just pay for the clutch (that needed replacing)
