Got up as usual to visit the gym, tried to start the beast, no-go. Spent $800 getting fuel pump and filter replaced. Next thing: need to replace the door latch mechanism to clear alarm faults. The cost of cool I guess.

Fun stuff today. Pulled out the temp. control module and replaced the LCD screen using the ModuleMaster kit. Super easy and great results.
Also clayed the car for the first time. Lots of work and will admit, on a 12 year old car, sometimes you are better to leave a bit of dirt on there! Great, now to find some touch up paint.
Claying and waxing sure makes it smooth, but any paint blemishes will really show through. Oh - and if you have that 3M coating on the hood - be careful with the clay. It will stick get under the edge and make a mess. Go with the grain, not against it.

OK, the lights......there is a very fine line between Neat and Cheesy. I am 58 years old and I have to admit I like your lights. Did you have to drill a hole to install these and if so how did you treat the hole to prevent rust in the future ?
Thanks
Dwight

Thank you for liking my lights.
Yes, I had to drill holes on the bottom of the doors to put the lights in. I followed this video to install them: Install Door Welcome Logo Lights - YouTube

Installed the replacement frunk release actuator (thanks itsnotanova!). When reinstalling the right headlight after rerouting the emergency release, the frunk lid fell on my head.  That smarts.

Installed the OBC stalk into the column assembly, wired it up with Pdwight's cable, and activated it with the Durametric. Success!

Got my CV's replaced (all 4) as 3 were torn as well as both my rear control arms. My box is A LOT quieter now going over those bumps! Price wasn't crazy at just under $1600 all in, but going to have to start learning how to do some of this myself.

Replaced my rear mud/rock flaps, got two new ones for like $120 shipped. 30 minutes it looks so much better.
I should have done this sooner....but I followed my maxim...fix any drive related issues before cosmetics

I will send a sample to Blackstone. I also got rid of the last of my amber, replacing the amber bulbs on the side lights. 
Driving around, you can quickly lose track when counting the number of cars without front plates around here. Oh well.....
