i installed break pads and rotors. the idiots at car quest gave me the wrong rear rotors though, possibly MSP ones? I told them it wasnt the "SPD" model too.

Let's hope i can return them despite them being painted silver already to prevent rust

Installed a CounterAct rust module and Philips CrystalVision Extreme headlight bulbs, really bright, very slight blue tinge.

if there's a slight blue tinge, they lied about the color temp. Thought they were 4000K?

Glass is tinted blue. The slight blue is mainly inside the housing itself, they are very white compared to the Silverstars.

^^ it isn't done yet, the body shop has a LOT of explaining to do and the car will be gone for at least a week or two to have work re-done on THEIR dime.

more info on all the problems here:

way more tint damage on that side window. They had to remove both of those and replace the seals (chassis damage stuff).

^^ bad, from what my parents in CT reported. It was some major storm, most of those noreaster things don't hit Rochester but this one did. We normally just get our lake effect snow. Now there's 14" of snow, and the plow goon only plowed the top half of my driveway, leaving a pile of solid ice/snow blocking me in the garage.

I'm gonna guess lots of people won't make it to work :P

prepare for the worst
