Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I cheated on mine, I paid a local ebay seller $130 to fix my pixels and he threw the rings on while it was open for free

It was easy. Hard part was the damn x fasteners.

I am looking for a local pixelfixer. Contacted a few looking for a gauge & mid deal with no response.

I'm not. I found a harness that claims to be P&P but I'm pretty sure it wont be which means I'll have to wire in my full 2 amp system, find a sub enclosure and mangle my Image Dynamics CX64 6.5s and their ginormous tweeter.

As it is an oven in AZ. right now I can only spend so much time in the garage so I am hoping for now to be able to 1/2 a$s it until winter.

It had weird video characteristics until I changed the resolution. Still not as good as Retina but good enough.



It looks better than that actually.

I bought plugs since I wasn't sure when it had last been done and after the irritating cover pulling ceremony got a perfect Bosch BMW plug out.

This made me very happy because it corroborates the info I was given, that it had been dealer maintained for it's life.





I put it back, cleaned the covers and removed the broken antenna that was in there WTF???

Just curious--Since you already had the new plugs why did you put the plug back in? Did you know how many miles they have on them?

Because they were perfect and can't have more than 39k on them because that is what the car has.

I believe they have less as they are the newer style.

I always do full maintenance on new to me cars. I already did oil, trans fluid and gear/transfer case oil as well as wipers.
