BTW, i was charged .8 hours less 20% for installation of the o2 sensors. Which I had only paid $73 each for.

That's a total of $51 for labour and $146 for the parts. CDN dollars.

Has anyone lifted an X5? I'd love to lift one, paint it a matte black, with black rims and gnarly mudders on it.

My buddy wants to do this to his cayenne s. We'll see how he does with that.
