Best $$$ spent so far!
I was busy yesterday!
I got my new gas struts form PJ Grady yesterday, they have the whole set of 6 for $139. 15 minutes to install and I feel SO much better about the car. Its get old real quick having to find something to prop the trunk open with or ask the person I’m showing the engine to "to hold up the louvers as I pop the hood" But not any more!
My D is able to do something it hasn't been able to do in (I'm guessing) 7-8 years: sit with all the doors, hood, and trunk open by them self. (I’m pretty sure the hood and trunk struts were original "Lift-O-Mat" struts, there was absolutely no resistance at all- I could push and pull them with no effort!)
I also got the Dash Mat cover from "DashMat" it looks pretty nice, as far a dash mat goes, its not a goofy looking carpet one, its like a suede fabric that looks nice (could be a few shades darker grey though) I'll post some pics of how it looks.
The rest of the evening I spent installing my new alarm system. lots of wiring work! I’m glad I’m doing it and not a place like ultimate electronics, who knows how they would have hooked it up. I actuality went there to buy an alarm but they don't "Sell them over the counter" like they’re some kind of Pharmacy!?!?
