Replaced Battery with Bosch Platinum AGM
Replaced my stock battery with this one:

Fit perfect. After, of course, the first Bosch one Pep Boys sold me was longer than the factory battery and I dropped a nut under the battery tray when I tried to insert a nut and bolt in the outer unthreaded hole. Had to remove the try and fish it out with a magnet. After two hours of fiddling/ fishing/ cursing, etc., I just returned it and bought the Bosch Platinum AGM which fit perfect and took all of 5 minutes to install.

KKSwow, I like a lot of tail lights, the problem is choosing.
Wiring day turned out to be a big let down. My buddy at the Dealership hooked up the computer to tell the car it has a fixed wing. Then, I plugged in the third brake light wire from the old retractable spoiler into the TT brake light. No dash warnings, no buying harnesses and no splicing.
Edit....the Check raised brake light message is back and neither 3rd brake lights work........the plot thickens. Guess I might have to buy the wiring harness after all.

I'll update pics eventually, but I've also added a black "Carrera" badge and dual exhaust tips.
Good luck!

I was going to send out my ole Champions to get refinished in a gunmetal but decided to mount them to make sure I like them on this car and make sure the sensors work.
I do like them and am almost inclined to keep them silver but a gunmetal is easier to keep clean. I prefer them to my faux centerlocks.
Thoughts? Opinions?

But then again, wheels are a really personal choice. I love my Lobsters but hate the Turbo wheels....go figure.
