Default Re: Ok I broke down and bought ANOTHER + questions

Hey Glen, The minor ding should be a quick fix by calling a paintless dent removal place. My son and I went shopping once taking the Crossfire. When we returned home he took his purchases out of the trunk and as I turned towards him I saw him closing the trunk lid with his elbow (obviously not a car guy). I yelled to stop but it was too late. He put the most minor of dents in the top of the wing. Nobody saw the dent but me and I'm so **** about my cars I couldn't stand it. I called the paintless dent removers and for under $100 I got what you see, absolutely no trace of anything. The rear valance is applied with 3M tape and special screws that are sort of a molly. When screwed in they spread apart the sleeve they're in to hold them in place. Can they be removed, I'm sure they can but I wouldn't. If you really like the diffuser you can get them I think for like $180. Try the Mopar Supercenter. I used them for many of my aftermarket parts. It took about 15 minutes to install. The tow hook cover was a VW part. Cost about $2-$3 and was something that came on a 2000 New Beetle Turbo I had. Required cutting the end off to shorten it to fit but it took 2 minutes and I thought it finished off the back nicely. Did the car still have the Chrysler Wings on the glove box door? I had ordered them from a craftsman in Greece. They were/are Sterling Silver. Not expensive at all but I thought it just dressed up the interior a bit. As I wasn't selling the car myself to its next owner I chose to take off and return to original everything I could before giving it back. So I had a ton of stuff I sold here on the Forum. As the car was never abused and never dirven in foul weather everything was in great shape. I especially liked the MB engine cover and the MB leather shift ****. Anything else you want to know just ask. If you want to talk let me know whens a good time to call.
