Post Cool reflection picture........

Terry's car in the background reflected in my newly wet sanded and buffed door.

Okay, so my Fuchs are dirty. I'll have time to polish them after I install some Technology Twists.

They are a pain to install!

The real problem is what is often referred to on ebay as the "door handle repair piece" can't think of a name for it. Gettin the plastic end of it into the metal ball on the door latch that can hardly be seen or reached was a 2 day project for me. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> I learned the hard way that it's better to remove that piece from the handle.

Wow Scott, those came out great. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> Sorry I couldn't make it but I got wrapped up in another project. How much progress did you make. We're ready for a nice long drive. <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

BTW, hope the family is doing ok...

Trem,

Yes this is the Arena Red 951 and that is a GT Racing Splitter.

Ringo,

As of today the sunroof is adjusted and installed, front panel and ducting is cut and installed, door handles installed, mirrors installed, keyhole gaskets installed, drip rail and new gaskets installed, window channel trim and rubber installed (not easy), wire harness run through the doors, and a lot of little things. I'm hoping to knock out most everything else this week and bring it home to it's long lost garage.

I'm starting to wonder if it will fit in the garage with the Odyssey. I guess the Altima will be an outdoor car now. Damn, I need a 3 car garage with a lift.
