    How to best 3M my car

    You should use something like Dawn dishwashing liquid/water and remove all wax, Zaino, etc., before trying to apply the 3M. Then, reading the 3M instructions, use baby shampoo and water to position and then secure the 3M. They have extensive instructions on their web site.

    Help....Installing front end cover(ie bra)........

    I'll bet the gap between fascia and hood varies from car to car. If your gap is tight, I wouldn't be forcing the hood shut. Your's simply might not fit due to the gap.

    Oil Leak

    Kept finding very small puddles on the garage floor and today --- a stream of oil running down the floor. Put it on the lift and noticed that oil was dripping on the top of the oil filter and the adjacent frame. Traced it to one of two metal oil lines that connected to the engine. The "nut"...

    How to best 3M my car

    Geoff, they advertise that it doesn't change the color of the paint over time. I wouldn't be able to verify this claim. And, you better find other reasons than parents for why I put it on. We never had enough money to buy the plastic couch material (thank God), nor were they sloppy. Maybe...

    How to best 3M my car

    First, if you never done it before, have a professional do it. If your car is black, DEFINITELY have someone else do it (IMO). Any slight bubble will be seen VERY clearly, whereas with silver, it is much harder to see. I did my silver one myself. Did the complete front fascia, 2' back on...

    Side mirror puncture marks

    Re: Side mirror puncture marks Since you mention the seat and scissor, I must say that a scissor certainly beats paper, or should I say leather. Nice scratch and HOLE in the suede. After I recovered from my heart attack, with Chris and his lovely wife very calm, I promised to get it fixed...

    Normal. There is some vent thingie in the way of the wiper going all the way down.

    Side mirror puncture marks

    Personally, I think it's a very minor problem. It's on the bottom of the mirror and nobody but mice and midgets will see it. Hel, some day the car may be worth more --- like a defective coin.

    Installing front end cover(ie bra)........

    Edward, no never had a problem of glue residue, but never left it on more than one week. It doesn't go down smoothly, but you can't notice it under the bra.

    Left Door Hinge Broken

    No, but those springs need to be lubricated fairly often. Both of mine have let out horrible grinding noises before I lubed them. They won't take much grinding before they give.

    The curiosity was killing me, so..... (pics!)

    True Jerry, 2nd gear up was pretty even, and the other two were not. However, I understand you have a different rear end (Viper, not your butt) and headers, etc. I get this from a reliable source, or at least one I choose to believe. You must have a different rear end because I noticed you...

    Installing front end cover(ie bra)........

    Before I used 3M, I would just take some 2" wide clear celophane tape and put it over the sharp edges and across the whole front edge of the hood and top edge of fascia. Only took 5 minutes and came off easily. Bras are a pain in the arse though, unless you use 3M.

    Re: ACK!! They just jumped right out in front of me!! (pics) Man is there a bunch of pervs on this site. Look at the number of views!! In some cases, it looks like some folk are going back about once every 30 minutes.

    DODGE Are You Listening????

    How about a patriotic red/white/blue? Wouldn't that be a good way to show our national pride at this time of hostilities? And it would be a great advertising tool for DC. (And for you yellow folk, DC could make that a special order option.) Now that's what is needed!

    SRT-10 Trunk Mats

    WOW! DODGE IS ONE GREAT COMPANY!!!! Just got a call from Rick from DC about my missing velcro posted above. He said they are getting in a trunk kit soon and will investigate my missing piece and either send me a fix or a new trunk kit. I hate to throw away anything, so am very willing to...

    SRT-10 Trunk Mats

    Well, it they are reading this board, I had a missing "loop" part on the vertical mat. The rest of the 6 or so were sewn onto the mat, but this one was simply missing. I tried a piece of stick on loop but it wouldn't stay stuck to the plastic part of the mat. I'm not talking about the hook...

    Out for another cruise today... (pics)

    Which park were you at today, Chris? Need to expand my cruising range. (Sure looks like SM Park though.) Was out most of the day in my various rides, but can sure say this about those that doubted the SRT's looks --- it gets a ton of attention. Honks, thumbs up, talks at stoplights, yells...
