So I decided to do some detailing and while I was at it I figured I finally get the side markers tint on that I bought a while back. The front ones fit but the rear bumper they're too small. This is what I ordered.



What am I missing?

Nothing...I bought the same junk and had the same issues. In my case I would'nt even say the fronts fit to well either but I admit I'm very picky!

I ordered all my tint from BigWorm graphics. Had no issues with fit or quality, and it might even be less expensive too. Just letting you know there are alternatives.

I have eBay front smoked lenses and I removed/painted/reinstalled the rears myself:

I had the same issue with AM. Fitment was off on all four, the rear being the worst. No one else has mentioned it, but I see it. Worst thing was the one for the third break light, it was over two inches too short. I just chucked that one.
If you let them know, they will make it right either through replacement or refund. Will from AM will probably be on here tomorrow, offering to fix it for you.

Thanks for the info guys. Someone over there didn't measure twice I guess.

The fronts fit well with no gaps so those can stay. I guess I'll see what Big Worm has to offer. I've liked everything I've ordered from them anyway.

On there now and might buy the rear break package. Anybody tint their fogs and if so how dark did you go? I'm thinking darkest but I don't want them to block too much light.

Head gaskets appear to line up so I am going to go ahead and say it is a dirrect Bolton without any issues.

Another option (and what I did) is to buy a roll of window tint and cut them yourself. Cost me maybe $12 and looks fine.

That's awesome.
Good luck and enjoy!

Yesterday ...

Went to a car show in Bethlehem, NH.
After the show I took these pics, Mt Washington in the background somewhere ...

Car looks on point Gabe!

Installed the Barton short shifter. I already have the Blowfish racing bracket but wow! The short shifter and the bracket go so well together. I feel like I am ready to lay down some awesome times at the strip! The picture is right before I installed the new shifter. I recommend it to anyone who was thinking about purchasing it. Very easy install, took like 20 min or less.

No time to take her out today, but I did take her out yesterday and Friday after supper.
Sent off another 2 months payments this morning. No more payments till 2018. Getting close to paying her off.

Today was officially do something completely stupid that costs money and time day.

When I did the ProCharger install, we noticed the bolts that hold the new fan to the new shroud were VERY close to the radiator because I installed the bolts from the engine side. Today I decided to fix that by swapping them so the bolt heads would be on the radiator side with the threads safely away from the cooling fins. However, what should have been a 30 minute job took hours.

I went to pull the fan and shroud out and when I did, I accidentally leaned the top back just a little and one of the lower fan bolts that I thought was too close punctured the radiator. I called a friend and he located a radiator for me while I removed the now ruined one. A few hours later and I'm back on the road again.

I did have to take the bumper off to reach the condenser and auto trans cooler bolts, but none of the supercharger plumbing or intercooler had to come off.

To make myself feel better, I've tried to view it as an expensive 37K mile coolant change....but hasn't worked yet. Still feel like an idiot.

Car is getting the hood pins today. I was going to do them myself after my friends couldn't get with me, but my wife said "that hood is too expensive, there are only a couple of them, and I think that the professionals need to do it" - she had visions of me cutting into that hood and got scared! So dropped it at the shop so they can do it. While it is there they are going to check out a rattle that comes on at 40 mph. I think it is a heat shield and maybe a clamp on the exhaust; it isn't rpm dependent, only speed and it comes and goes so something about the harmonics starting at 40 mph sets it off.

Then tonight, with the pins installed, I can go out and get the next set of data logs for MPT and get this turbo finished and to the track.

Tomorrow is dyno tune day for me!

Awesome.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

i removed the Lethal Performance offroad H and went back to stock. It was just too loud for me! I'm happy again with the stock mid pipes/cats. I can hear myself think again!

I cleaned the Alcantara on my steering wheel. A slightly damp with water and dish soap microfiber towel and a couple minutes was all it took. Nice and fuzzy again.
