well wishes much appreciated!

does anyone have a thought on the above question? - i am thinking these are hydraulic lines to the wing? - the sheathing looks to be in great shape, but the plastic sleeving has crumbled away - should these be changed? - was the plastic structural in some way?

thanks!

Edlebby - I don't recall anybody discussing the coating on those lines previously, so that's probably why no one is commenting on it. I don't think it's a big issue. You could try to coat it with PlastiDip, but I'm not sure how well it would last. Alternatively, you could spray it with some other rubberized coating, or find a coating that you could brush on to protect the lines.

don't know if this will help anyone, but it was kind of fun searching around to figure out what msrp on options were

also, i got a "build sheet" from the dealer, but i have now learned that is not complete - you have to cross check it with the decal under the front deck lid to get a comprehensive set of options

i come close to msrp shown on the build sheet, but not quite - if anyone knows where i am off or sees other errors, thanks in advance
