3rd Radiator and LN low temperature thermostat. The oil temperature dropped 15-20 degrees according to the dummy gauge. It never cracked 200 in 67 degree weather and 70 mile drive (highway and rolling back roads)

I think this should have been standard on the F77 package.

Pulled a yellowing old half bra off of my hood, front fenders, and rear flares, compounded, polished, and waxed the areas.

Was it hard to get the old ones off? I was thinking of doing this myself, but saw posts of folks pulling off paint from doing this too.

It was much easier than anticipated. I heated it only for a short while with a regular hair dryer. I started to peel the guards with just my finger nail and no residue was left behind. Quick wipe with a cloth and new ones went on without much drama. I procrastinated this project for the same reasons as you but it went just fine and took less than 30mins.

What brand did you go with for replacement? I've been meaning to get to this for a while now.

Went with what appears to be OEM from Suncoast. I bought one for each side ~ $100.

Installed RSS semi solid motor mounts - very easy to complete (under an hour) and really tightens up the back end. From what I can tell so far, only the slightest vibration changes. but not a concern at all.
