Changed the Control Arms on the white car. Now it really needs an alignment. Not all that hard of a job. If you can not get the ball joint spindle out of the clamp, you need a bigger hammer. I could not find a good write up on how to do it, but it's pretty much self explanatory and I did read the Haynes manual.

Installed tint on side windows. I could not do the back because the tint had a crease. I got the tint from Next Level Ride. They sell pre-cut tint.

Several attempts were made to contact Next Level Ride about the damaged tint but they have not responded as of 7/12/09. You may NOT want to buy from them.

Installed mud flaps. Not sure what happened to the other mud flaps. They were gone with I purchased the car.

Drove out of my driveway and the front mud flaps scraped the ground. I bet the back ones will catch parking lot stoppers and curbs.

Painted the wheel balancing weights to match the wheels. The guys at Wal-Mart put the weights on the outside of the wheels. Also touched up where they scratched the wheels.

New gas cap today. Some idiot left it on top of the car at last fill-up. The p0455 code took 200 miles of driving to set. Odd that the check engine light hadn't come on yet. I just happen to check it with my code reader.

It rides pretty smooth.
The struts and springs are Weitec.
Something in the R/F started squeeking while driving on a bumpy road today but I will figure it out.
