Thank you!

If you don't mind I would appreciate it. That will save me around $100!

I fixed the high beam light on the dash issue. Someone recommended I hold down on the steering wheel while I turn of the high beams. Sure enough, the light turned off (on the dash), and the fog lights came on!

Also, I dropped the car off at the local mechanic today for a complete inspection and possible tune up. I will update you with his findings when I find out.

What do you all think about this hood? The seller/shop is local.

Superhawks are good hoods, very similar to Firehawk hoods just with vents and higher cowl.

Well, the mechanic was unable to get to my car today. The two cars he was working on, the owners wanted everything repaired (which he was not expecting them to do today). The car is going to the detail shop first thing in the morning, then going back to the mechanic for him to look at it on Wednesday.

I don't even know where to begin! I am AMAZED with the cleaning job the detail shop did with the car...especially the engine/engine bay. The car looks much better and this was well worth $150! Most of all the minor surface scratches are completely gone. There is some rust on a few parts in the engine area and bolts. I need to find out how to clean the rust, but I will replace the rusted bolts. The interior of the car looks even better. The leather seats have someone of a softer feel to them now, but I need to keep using leather lotion to make them even softer.


To show you the quality and detail the shop did, I parked the car in the exact same spot (as the originaly pictures I took), used the same camera and settings, and took the pictures in the same time frame (maybe + or - 10 minutes difference).

The car is at the mechanic shop now, so tomorrow, I will let you know what he says!

On with the show...Here is Jade!
