Wow... Three cars modding at once... This could keep us rather busy.

I waited to order the outlets, so I got the correct PN when I ordered. I ordered the parts from crown last night, so I would hope they are in by next weekend...

I guess I will wait to confirm the signal bulbs I am going to try... I have the correct front bulbs ordered, and Im going to see if I can get an amber blinking bulb in the rear. I just hope its a clear amber blinker in the rear if it fits...

I will be using clear blinkers up front. What I am curious is whether the amber bulbs from the stock US spec lights will fit in the rear so that it can blink amber in the rear instead of red.

I have a set of clear bulbs to fit in my euro xenons when they arrive. The rear turn signals would just be a bonus if they worked and looked decent enough. If not, stock red rear blinkers will have to do...

Sunglass tray? I looked in the e90 accessory brochure and couldn't find one. Where did you get yours and where do you install it?

by the way... the parts that are ordered through crown take 7-10 business days to get to him, and then another few to get to us.

I wont have my power outlets or split sliding armrest by next weekend...

Frank, just ordered the sunglass tray. Been looking for someone to have a go at it, together. Its going to be a little different than yours as mine is steptronic. But since you're my appointed DIY go-to guy now (crown passed to you from AJ) , you can help me out

Also good to go on my rear power outlet panel, JD @ Crown has changed my color to black. Seems to be some wire cutting involved , any of us here actually have experience with electrical stuff. Also, who is sourcing the 3M plug connectors. Perhaps someone can grab some and we'll split the costs.

Car went in for the alignment, and if all went well, I was going to pick it up yesterday (Wed).

I call after work to find out that somehow, they need to replace one of the rear brake calipers. Of course, this is a special order part, and it wont come in until early this next week. So Im looking middle of next week to get the car back.

Im just really curious as to why they couldnt see this beforehand with all the diagnostic checks they make. This caliper alone is making me wait another week...


Im told the estimate is close to 15k in damages

And no, Donny, unfortunately I won't be joining for any of the mod meets. I'm still hoping to taste me a Lexus in October, though.
