I hardwired my Passport 9500IX today. I mounted the remote display under my gauge pod and the radar detector on the right side of the rearview mirror. Also, I installed a vent mount on my Dashdaq in order to hide most of the wiring and get it off the windshield.

Sorry for the blurry photos.

Dropped mine off today to have the adjustable rear camber arms installed. I'm just hoping that this does not cause any scrub with the fenders. Its going to be close......

It surely shouldn't, we put mine on last week and the ride is vastly improved, but no differences other than that in the way everything fits...

I got the stereo mod done late this evening! Very glad to see that it worked, and there is no need to upgrade the tunes, with the exception of a NAV, perhaps. Otherwise, drove it around with the top down!

What type of glass did they use, was it a german manufacturer/OEM or was it aftermarket? What are your thoughts on it? Thanks!

Picked mine up from the dealership today. Took it for a little drive after having the camber arms installed. Problem is most of the curves in Florida right now are at the beach on spring break. Will have to wait till next week to really check it out. BTW Rob and Mike, looks like you will be getting at least one more order. Apparently another owner saw my adjustable arms and will be ordering a set.

Took mine out for a spin today for the first time in a week. After working on my son's Ford Escort (cleaning, polishing, waxing, and detailing) and having to drive that thing, the '6 feels like an absolute rocket ship.

Howard, after a few weeks driving with the H&R swaybar let us know what you think. I'm considering doing the same.

Today I purchased some sheet aluminum to build a "box" to force all the air to pass through the radiator. The front fascia is coming off soon and I'll be doing some fabrication in the name of cooling efficiency.

Sounds like an interesting project...I'd like to see what you end up with.

Jury still out on the retune. I haven't had a chance to datalog yet. Feels like I lost a little on the low end but it runs like a bandit 100+. hope to datalog tomorrow.

Got the air filters cleaned and recharged today and the brekes checked. I guess thoes porterfield pads are just never going to wear out.
I am really liking the K=macs, the H&R sway bar and Mikes camber arms.

Hey BoilerUp, not sure what kind of glass they used, it looks just like OEM. I am quite pleased with the new windshield and with the company I used. I found another company that would do it for about forty five dollars cheaper but I decided on Safelite because they have a solid reputation and me being unfamiliar with auto glass companies went with one I have full confidence in...
