Cool. I just did mine in CF recently. Love it. H&R's with billy's is kinda harsh but the stance is perfect and the performance/handling is INSANE!

Sweet ride. Love the rims! Trim is awesome.

Uh yes, good weather, I've heard of that. This week has been awful... getting better though.

I have the Bilstein sport and H&R springs on my Touring. Left the rear air suspension alone and surprised that the rears adjusted (lower) somewhat to the lowered front while still having a subtle rake. (Originally I was going to take it to the dealer to have them adjust the rears.)

Conditioner? Damn that's nice. I wonder if that'll work for some of the other synthetic trim in the interior? I've been trying to think of something that'll help "freshen" it up a bit but for the life of me I do no want to use amor all or anything similar.

yes, I used a hand soap with water for all interior, and conditioner just for a leather ...it really work for me and plus it smell a lot better ( smell like my wife )

I detailed both cars yesterday which made it rain last night and today but at least I was able to clean away the last remains of winter. Now if spring can just keep it's hold long enough I'll put my summer tires back on.

Nice wagon! Mine i sjust like yours well... 540 and the same color.

No sport interior, I wish I had it, but I got my black interior.

I love the way the front bumper looks. I have been thinking about it and it really makes me think that I should do it on my wagon.
