@crystal, the running boards are still available thank God. $750 from the dealer though as a complete retrofit kit.

Got to use a few of the products that I ordered and so far really impressed with Adam's products
The blue towel is amazing I dried the whole car with it
The mitt is like a pillow and it holds two gallons of water-really liking it
The most amazing is the foam gun.The washing experience just got more exciting .Even the wife loved the cockpit cleaner by 1Z and the glass cleaner from Adam's polishes
She wants me to buy her a few products since they smell so good lol

Interesting tips on the weather strips, will keep it in mind if noise starts getting in the cabin.

Works like a charm. Drove about 30 highway miles today and the noise was significantly lower. Am still going to order new ones, but the wind noise was annoying me so this is a good temp fix.

Crystalworks, those are the right part numbers - you get the rubber and the furry felt part all as one piece. I just did my drivers door. Car noticeably quieter after - too a week or so for them to take shape as door took a bit more effort to shut.

Thanks... will be ordering them in the future after taking care of some other maintenance items. I love bringing a used car back up to OEM + specs. Don't know how some people live with imperfections... but then again the wife and I are OCD so I'm sure we are the weird ones not others.

Thanks for the info... going to start saving... :thumbup:

PS: Does anyone else have a problem with multi quote on these boards? It's irritating to have to go and open a bunch of tabs to copy and paste people's quotes into my one response. Never had this problem on a forum before.:dunno:

Finally got around to ordering tires. Made a last second decision to go with the Michelin Latitude Alpins over the Bridgestone Blizzaks DM-V1 for two reasons, 1) tirerack was sold out and 2) I think I'd prefer to have a high performance winters over studless snowtires this time. Can't wait to get them on at the end of the week.

Painted brake calipers to Silver and installed winter tires.
Since then it's been raining whole day, couldn't get any descent pictures.
Happy with outcome tho. :D

^^^nice haul! I have everything you have pictured, you'll never use regular drying towels again after the Super Dryer, and the Wool wash mitt is amazing?

How awesome does Adam's products smell? You'll be ordering All Purpose Cleaner and Glass Cleaner in gallons, I have a separate bottle for my wife and I to use in the house for our windows and countertops!

Cockpit is amazing as well as an interior QD, and PNS is a great LSP. Glad you're enjoying the Gilmour foam gun, I purchased a Griots foamer a couple months ago and love it! So easy to use with a hose.

While at the ex-indy getting the oil leak checked, they broke my driver's side door handle.
My valve cover gasket is leaking after all.
I'm in X5 hell right now...
