All righty then! I'll go start a new thread!

Jeremy, be aware I've got a 'Time Out Chair' all picked out for you and am not afraid to use it!

I got that when my car came in, I filled it out and my preferences were promptly ignored. I don't know if they actually use them or not, but they didn't with me.

If you ever need a code pulled just let me know, I have the software for it now (well I've actually had it for a while). I've also noticed since I got it my SES light hasn't come on so I really haven't had a chance to play with it too much.

Lenore is definately here... called my MA this morning..

Didnt get to see her, she is already in the service area for prep work.

Gave him the go ahead for some of the dealer installed options.

Got my JCW door sills today (non-illuminated) and ordered the strut brace..both of which I plan to install myself.

Question for those who have the invisashield thru proform...
Do you have both the upper and lower kits? Do you recommend both?
My MA says some people just get the upper kit to save money.

My $.02...

Get both. Rob at ProForm has been doing this a long time and I trust him when he says most stone and road debris damage occurs on the lower part of the MINI bumper.

That's quite an investment you have there. I'd not cut corners on the clearbra.

90% of our damage is on the lower part of the front end, that is directly below the bonnet.

I don't think you have much to worry about with Towson and mods. I took my car in for some warranty work there after I got my pulley/intake/stuff and they didn't say a thing. It would also be something that they could (if they wanted to be "that way") denied because of mods (o2 sensor).

I wanted a stick, but I couldn't find one in my price range, I wanted a 'lighter', 'brighter' color also, but that also wasn't in the selection based on my budget.

I bet LDG's headers would sound nice on that JCW exhaust.
