random question, did you get your plates from the Culver City DMV? My plates also start with 7ZYU, but about 500 numbers off.

I use an independent registration service, but in this case it was a 2-1/2 month nighmare, since they identified my car as an 07 Audi. I'm still dealing with it, in fact. But yeah, they deal with Culver City DMV.

Interesting, they must get batches of plates that they use until they're out. I just registered my car last week and got 7Z, though I've seen as high as 8B on the streets already.

Not sure how they got Audi, the VIN prefix isn't even close!

Crummy water pump. Only lasts 106K miles?!

We'll see. Shop can accommodate it tomorrow.

Another project while waiting for my clutch parts to arrive. Ive never been a fan of the wood in my car so I decided to wrap it today. Still working on the steering wheel, but its going better than I expected.

Making some progress on my non-smoker kit replacement bin for coupes... Boxsters, too. On my 3rd supplier and file has been further modified since this model. I think I'm ready for final 3D print before going to casting for production

I bought mine years ago, so the price has gone up, but here is a link to ECS: https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Smo...mpaign=newpost

There may be other suppliers?
