It definitely is, getting it looking good for topless wether..the car not me..lol
They are D2 bags and struts Steve I believe you are using the same style double below bags in the front and single sleeve bag in the rear. Installation was done at D2 and I was trying out different combination of bags and bottom perch lengths etc to find an optimal pressure to drive at. Are you having any issues with yours?

With summer right around the corner I wanted to get my tints on my car redone, they were faded to an ugly purple. Steamed the tints off and got rid of all the excess glue. I don't understand people who drive around in expensive cars and cheap out on tint! Why would you not spend the little extra to and put good tint on and not use the dye based tint!! You can see that the tint started off black and has faded to a bluish purple!! Please use a ceramic, hybrid or metal based films.
Went up to my tint shop and put some samples up. Gonna drive around and see which one I like.

Fresh Tint
I think I'm ready for the summer. Picked out a tint which has a slight reflectiveness to it to flow with the color of the car. Black tint IMO would've stood out a little. I'm happy with it, have to give it a couple of days and go back to get the rears windshield a once over to get some air pockets out around the defroster lines.

This was a messy job but well worth the effort!
After I was finished, I used some engine degreaser and a couple of small brushes to clean the entire engine! It is almost spotless now, except you really cannot see it due to the engine covers ;-)

I was inspired by your good work and used most of your procedure to flush and clean up my power steering system! The reservoir was a PIA to clean, but now I can actually see the fluid level.

No issues, in fact the system has been faultless for the three years it has been done. My strutts are far more 'budget' than yours and I have single bags front and rear. UAS sport bags and they are quite firm, but I am happy with them. They are fitted to adapted Megans, but yours make mine look very 'basic', but they do the job.

I think my problem is I did not buy the OEM spark plug gaskets.
The felpro valve cover gasket is fine, but the spark plug gaskets are wierd..
Looks like I will just buy the OEM just to be on the safe side.
