    A light tint would look nice!

    Installed a set of carbon fibre mirror covers as part of a repair to my passenger side mirror which was clipped by a temporary road sign. I am happy with how they turned out.

    Minor fender bender this winter due to an Acura backing into the side of my car while I was going through a Tim Horton's drive thru lane.


    Removed the bent fender. The fender liner was also cracked and the air box was badly broken.


    Broken air box. Sounded great!


    Replaced the air box with a salvaged part. Installed a new air filter.


    Installed a salvaged fender and fender liner and had the fender and front bumper cover painted. Good as new.

    I also picked up European spec side reflectors - out with the yellow. Put my summer wheels on as well.

    While changing to my summer tires I found this, a broken sway bar link. This explains the poor handling I was experiencing lately, no front sway bar!



    A picture of the broken link off the car, a Proparts aftermarket part. I installed this on the car less than 3 years ago, it shouldn't have failed. Luckily I had kept the old links which were not in bad shape and was able to fix the problem quickly.

    Proparts parts don't have a very good reputation from what I remember. Better to use OEM for critical parts or when labor time and money is much more than the part itself. I wouldn't be surprised if that failed sway bar link has 'Made in China' written on it.
