^have those same bulbs lol. I took the stick-on chrome off my mirror caps today...thinking about painting them to match or getting towing mirrors and ptm, not sure...Also thinking about Black Headlights, not sure how they'll look with the surround and two-tone, though...

just been driving it. cleaned my wheel and driver seat the other day.

today i noticed one turn i took when accelerating it seemed to have a noticable shake when accelerating. im not sure if it was the road but ive never noticed it doing that there in that spot.

i drove around a little bit and it didnt do it again. freak accident i hope. i really dont want trans problems.

time to research transmissions and why some dont like running tuners like mine that increase the line pressure.

Had my Tranny serviced today... shop dropped the pan, replaced filter and new fluid. Didn't do a fluid exchange... I thought that's what they were doing, but oh well

Mine had a little shake one day over the winter that continued to get worse throughout the day. Went to the Ford dealer and got the LS additive for $6 and haven't had a problem since.

Is it a noticeable difference? I didnt want drilled because I dont want the possibility of them cracking....and at one time I had heard the dimpled style make a funny popping noise since the holes dont go all the way through...do you notice any funny sound from them when your braking next to something like a wall or a car?

thanks!

My flip key came in the mail today, programmed and cut it! I am really liking it. Shipping took a week which I thought wasn't bad at all. Well worth the money to me.

I only drove around, about 15 miles today, however the stopping power and response is a huge difference. Didn't notice any noise but I did a full front and rear slotted/dimple upgrade on my wife's explorer sport trac about a year ago and no noise and she loves them.

It would happen to me between 5-10 mph depending on sharp the bend was, but not quite as noticeable as it was from a dead stop.

Bought and installed a new piece of rubberish fabric that goes under the front bumper (aka air deflector). Hopefully my tranny temps won't be in the 180's any more.
