Installed the recovered headliner. What a PITA. Lots of broken clips and problems reinstalling it. The sunroof switch panel won't stay in either. I think it needs some more trimming of the new material. It's much thicker than the old stuff was. __________________  No more ti. | | | | | 06-07-2011, 06:39 PM | #1428 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |

In the event of a front end collision the motor is designed to drop down. __________________ ...steven

Plus you know, it scrapes on EVERYTHING...
I still don't understand how people can put the x brace on and not notice how much tighter the front end is... __________________

Installed red led safety lights on to both door panels wired to the foot well courtesy lights. It's an easy installation; only requires that one small hole be drilled in the car body and the wires slipped into the door via the rectangular rubber gasket that carries all the oem wires into the door. The light I used is a small three led, rectangular piece by Blazer, five bucks or so at most any auto parts store. Throw away the chrome or white plastic "frame" and mount only the red plastic light unit itself, for a simple, oem look. Decide where you want to mount the light, then drill two holes for the plug, then attach the light from the other side of the panel using heavy duty strength hot glue. I did this mod on my Z3 about three years ago and neither the lights nor the glue have failed yet. This mod is a legitimate safety feature seen on many other cars, and it and looks anything but tacky in my opinion. | | | | | 06-08-2011, 06:01 AM | #1434 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Detroit Posts: 164 |

Not that it really matters with that as you could just drill another hole. but if you have depos or the like you'll have to make your own pipe from maf, through cold air box wall, to filter. I just picked up some bits from ACE Hardware for a few bucks and threw the afe pipe in a box somewheres. Oh and one of the angles of the box was off by a bit but it's really easy to bend the corner a little tighter so it lines up. __________________ =F.N.B.=

Got the sunroof switch panel back in, finally. So nice to not have anymore rattles from the sunroof and a good headliner. __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 06-09-2011, 08:44 PM | #1439 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Oakland Posts: 187 |

I'm missing the trim piece on body around latch that the trunk switch hits, so I had my wife work the switch for trunk with her hand. I got it programed but it wouldn't work until I removed switch for trunk to fool computer into thinking trunk is closed, until I get the trim panel...  __________________
