I try to be careful when it comes to accessorizing Surreptitious... don't want her looking trashy... So these became available....

They are just propped in there for now, I'll need to come up with a method to mount them securely as the original mounts were not included

Looks great! Thumbs up!

But I always had a thing for 70s louvre window style

Looking very tasteful Dan. Though I'm astonished not seeing any snow in these pictures...

She can have it!!!!! This has been the most snow in Portland since we have been here. The local ski resort (Timberline on Mt Hood) has a base of 130"(330+cm)!

The photos above are from the storm in mid January (11&12)

Pretty much since she has been roadworthy... she has had an annoying vibration at the front of the car when @ idle. It was slightly embarrassing as it idle, and made noise. For the longest time I had thought it was the air dam vibrating against the custom bumper. So I decided today I had had enough and I looked at what I could do. First, I tried to adjust the bumper... to no avail, the vibration continued. Then I climbed under the front while it was idling... and I saw the problem...... The air dam was indeed vibrating against something, but it wasn't the bumper. The airdam is shaped in such a way that the back side that fits to the lower valance, was vibrating.

I've fitted some foam weatherstripping between the air dam and the valance panel and the vibration is GONE!

Sometimes it is just a simple small thing. I had such an issue with my Carina where something on the dashboard would rattle when stationary. Even after removing and reattaching every panel it remained. It ended up to be a loose louvre inside the air vent...

part of my fear of installing the interior is more things to vibrate.... Blush
