Hello GEO356, quick question, what kind of glue did you use for your badge? While I was washing my car, noticed my badge is coming loose.

I had my detailer do it. The easiest and safest route is to just get the badge from your local dealer or Suncoast, they are around $50.

Took a while but am happy with it. The red matches the brake calipers very well.

You guys do realize they clean up perfectly well by just washing them in soap and water, right? You don't need to buy new *****. Mine looked awful and were sticky like everyone else's, but I just cleaned them and got all the goo off. Like new.

For the sticky/gooey/funky PCM *****, just use dish soap and a toothbrush. Mine went from truly nasty to perfect in about 5 minutes.

Replaced my clutch at 61k miles and wow... what a difference. The clutch is so much softer/smoother now. I'm so used to the old stiffer clutch and now I find that I have to re-calibrate my clutch play. FWIW, I purchased my 08 C2S 2.5 yrs ago with 45K miles on the clock and I don't recall the clutch ever being this soft/smooth... the car now has 61K miles. It's quite nice and has transformed that aspect of my driving enjoyment for the better.

New tires. Changed my old abused MPSS with the sticky Hankook RS-3s.

Nice! you saved close to 30 lbs from the back of the car!

I want to do the same, but every time i say i i will pull the trigger, i keep remembering how practical is the flat surface with the seats down for trips...

I will do it i guess if i get the roll bar...
