Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

Bought the car a year ago and joined forum. This is the first post other than saying hi so hope I don't step on too many toes... Reading all the posts there was somethings I wanted to do and then there was/is somethings I needed to do. The car only came with one key fob that was in pretty rough shape so I ordered a new one from the dealer (I know there will be backlash about that) that was a 4 month wait that ended with a $950 bill (Canadian so not bad right???). The tint in the rear window was bubbling bad so it got new tint. My rear spoiler had quite a few chips in the paint so I sanded that down primed it and repainted it (paint repair kit from 'scratches happen' matched perfectly)-got a slight orange peel to it so it will be redone down the road. Drivers side valve cover was leaking (re-seal kit from needs wings) repaired after a lot of digging the old sealant out. I wanted the upgraded throttle body and cold air intake (again from needs wings). Also a good idea if you are hoping to do stuff to and for your engine is to put on an oil catch can, done. The las thing was the Mercedes engine cover, I like the look. My front tires are 11 years old so my next purchase is new tires. Here are some pics.





new key fob

the car is wet but you can still see the bubbled tint

thought it would be easier to cover the car instead of remove the spoiler



new window tint and spoiler paint

fun stuff from needs wings

kept the OEM for later

oil leak LH side

re-sealing (did both sides)
