Yes, but I forgot - there is no wind from the drive accessories, though. But, I'll put it down and re-shoot. Won't be until I have a helper, though.

Nope - good neighborhood, and nobody can get to my car at work (except other workers).

That's just the cool thing to do, didn't you know that?:

They are GOOD wheel locks! Genuine Ford factory wheel locks!

And, no, I haven't paid $50 for them, yet! I pay about 16 cents a month for them.

Must be a FL thing - Mike has them.

You paid $380 for side air bags and never drive your car! Don't get me started!

TKS. Well I should have the car by Tuesday so we'll see how it goes.

The rears still need some braking to clean them off - but a trip to work and back should take care of that!

Looks good Tom. I'm surprised none of the black paint stayed in slotted parts.
---------------------------

Well I'm back home now here's a link to the pics from the bodyshop.

BTW-UPS guy left my chin spoiler on my patio. Good on him. Now I just need a car to put it on.

Yeah, yeah... You can start it, but I'll finish it!

Believe me, that is one option I hope I never see. Because if I ever do, things went ugly... real ugly... like bufugly.

No I meant the paint that was on the slotted part of the rotor. Or did you not spray the slots. (I'm talking about the slots not the holes.)

Are those dead bugs on your passenger seat???

Tell those guys to ROLL THE WINDOWS UP! Ughh! I'm getting upset looking at your pics! I mean, jeezz, at least vacuum up the pebble glass pieces all over the place!

No it's like leaves or some flowery stuff off a tree.

They said they'd have the car cleaned up before it was returned to me. But I agree I was not happy with the windows being down since it's not necessary.

All the slots and holes are black now. Are you looking at the same pictures?

My bad it's because some the slots don't look black since they're at different angles and getting different amounts of light.

I did see those before. The red doesn't bother me as much as the amber did since the rear lights are red, too.

They aren't too expensive, are they? Daryl might like them, too!

Guess some things are out of your control, especially when you're away from the car. Sometimes, like now, it's better for your blood pressure not to know. Ignorance is bliss.

Hey, those look real nice on that PW. Maybe because it's so clean or something, but I like it!

I can only imagine what else they do when I'm not there.

Better check the back seats for... never mind!

It'll all turn out good, Leo, don't worry (too much).
