Got my new to me full leather door panels back from being repainted. Also had my seat bolsters repaired. Can't wait to put these in with new door pulls and switch bezels.

Wow...those bolsters look so good. Who did the work?

My local Fibrenew guy. I've seen some other people on the forums had them repair their seats. You can see some of their work here:

3798j · 12-17-2020, 05:04 PM

The 3.0SI's exhaust tips would no longer clean up. Shabby they were, but I just didn't want to spend a lot for replacements. So...spent $25.99 for this pair from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/ESPEEDER-Pair.../dp/B0757K9KZM)
Full chrome plated, they fit perfectly and gave back the exhaust's clean, understated look.

Sarreguin85 · 12-18-2020, 12:02 AM

Had to go quite a ways for this, but it was very worth it because these come by once in a blue moon, but I managed to score an... M56 Valve Cover! I'm debating on if I want to paint, and if so, what color. I'm thinking either Gold, because I have Gold Calipers. Red, because my cars accent color is red, or just prep and respray the cover the same Silver. I'd love to hear feedback from my friends here on the forums!

trpt · 12-23-2020, 01:25 PM

Those look great, thanks for the link. I might get the black version for my 3.0si.
Question- my car looks to already have similar tips on it, which I suppose are factory? Did yours have factory tips and did you remove them first, or just slide the new ones on over them?

My old tips were the original ones. They must be removed...it wasn't difficult. Using a hammer, tap the back edge of the old tip to drive it off the tailpipe. Place a block of wood (I used a short length of 2''x4") on the new tip, then tap on with the hammer.

Looks clean and pristine.

They were a little rough at first. A lot of that roughness is left from prepping the leather for new dye. But I put some Swissvax Leather Milk on and let it soak in for a day. After that I can't feel a difference between the original sections and the repainted ones.

Sarreguin85 · 12-25-2020, 05:07 AM

Got to installing the M56 cover that I bought last week, and I painted it red, might be a little ricey but I like it

A 10% discount may be attractive to many, but if you don't tell us where it doesn't matter

Although I guess I could do some investigative work and see the 'Local Pickup' option, and see your location is Detroit, so it must be some reseller in Detroit.

Nice purchase

elerner61 · 01-12-2021, 09:10 AM

I finally bought a Flex 3401 VRG forced action polisher. I've been using a Porter Cable for about 20 years now. The difference is significant. Correcting scratches is no longer frustrating. Truly one of those "why didn't I do this earlier" experiences.

Z4M Fun · 01-12-2021, 07:25 PM

Not much but should make life easier

Steeler · 01-13-2021, 04:05 PM

Couple of items I have wanted for a while now.
A chassis mounted short shifter from AKG and the Mason Engineering clutch pedal.
Also another tuning item from Josh at Severn Tuning, to aid in fine tuning my already exceptional tune.
Not to mention removing that lump on the side of the intake manifold.
