Another question???? Are they flat stick ons or are they contoured? Is it real wood or faux wood? Reason I ask is because i put wood in a Pathfinder years back and paid ALOT but it looked cheap and you could see the transitional area of the old to new wood. If you don't mind could you give me a little more info of your thoughts about the kits?

For the exterior black plastic, currently, just some fairly basic stuff - something called "black magic"
I am curious about "black wow" (different company) but don't know anything about it.
Thanks much! They make me ultra-paranoid about scouting constantly for road hazards, but are otherwise a pleasure to roll.

For the interior I use Lexol cleaner and protectant.

Great stuff ! Best ever. And a little bit goes a long way.

It was actually a couple days ago, but....
I test drove a Laser Blue 2011 MCS with a black roof and MSRP of $27,xxx.
It was an automatic with the paddle shifters, so it took a little getting used to but it was exactly like a newer version of my 2005!
I'm a really big fan of the laser blue, and I've been thinking of trading in my tahoe and my mcs for the one new mini with maintenance/warranty included up to 100k miles.
It seems like a good financial decision, right? I tried to build one on the mini website, but it was getting WAY expensive! Every time I tried to add one simple option, I had to add a 'package' instead...lame.
Oh! and I named the mini finally. Walking in the door it hit me: Jimi. Jimi-the-mini; or Jimini for short. :p

Was time for me to purchase another bottle of "Back to Black" but instead decided to finally pull the trigger on a bottle of Black Wow thru Way Motor Works..... After using it last week I figured out how it got it's name
Great stuff ! Best ever. And a little bit goes a long way.

Misjudged a turn, and when my right rear tire came down off the concrete curb, my "stop", the tire jack brace came completely off . Was able to retrieve it off the road, and one of the clips that holds it on had broken clean off...
Hopefully I won't have alignment issues. As soon as it happened I knew SOMETHING had broken, such a terrible noise...guess it coulda been worse...sigh.... actually hope it isn't worse, but she drove the rest of the way fine...so.....

Well, I cleaned her pleatherette seats! My mini long haired weiner dog, MINI Cooper, ralphed as I took her for a romp on the twisties in Nisqually Delta.
I went up to Seattle MINI on a whim today to see what they might have in stock before I put in an order to catch the .9 financing that expires 2 May.
My MA pulled around in a drop dead gorgeous Laser Blue/Black S with Premium and Cold packages, 16 inch wheels and Bluetooth. She had just arrived 4 days ago and wasn't even on the online inventory. Everything I had speced out except the Xenons. I saved $1750 off MSRP with the May deal and got exactly what I wanted for my Honda Fit. They knocked off the ridiculous $495. dealer prep also.
Butch went home with me. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face cruising down I-5.
