wow monkey looks great....
thanks! took me a month to complete since i got lazy and also too a mini vacation

Looks familiar LOL. You might want to adjust the lenses as they look a bit cross-eyed. Good work though
they were quite off alignment, when i turned them on all four projectors were aiming somewhere different, but they're all aligned and installed now

I removed my 16 year old tint today. I used a steamer for the front and back. I used the trash bag method and the steamer on the rear. It all came off with ease. I'm getting new tint Monday.

Changed spark plugs on my 430. Naturally the passenger side was the one that was more difficult but it all worked out great. Old plugs didn't look that bad. Some oil deposits on the threads but electrodes looked pretty good.

Quick tip: if you're having trouble getting at the front pax side plug by the airbox, slide the brake fluid resorvoir up and out of the way. Much easier.

And adjusted my trunk tension so the lid doesn't cut my head off. It helps a little, wait and see when out buying groceries.

I love the 5% limo privacy. This Texas sun is real.
