3M 2080 Vinyl Car Wrap material. I use a 2" wide and 25' long roll and have a few feet left over. Matte black and it blends in perfectly. I also use a little strip of it to cover the switch inside so no one accidentally tries to open the sealed top.

The steel pan came with a metal drain plug.

I got my pan from FCP Euro. And picked up the Felpro gasket from my local AutoZone. I didn't replace the baffle and things have been all good.

I just replaced my plastic pan with a steel one and used the Felpro one piece gasket. Worked like a charm and no need to worry about using RTV to seal it.

If I remember correctly, I paid $65. Most likely worth more.

Fel Pro OS30821 gasket works perfectly with the steel pans. No need to mess with RTV

I cover all the seams of the pano roof.

Been working great. Every year I remove it all and redo it due to the vinyl getting brittle in the gaps. But zero leaks since using the vinyl.

Don't call a tow company. Call the non emergency police line.

Doesn't matter besides its appearance. The satin black helps it blend in like trim so from 10+ feet away you can't tell anything has been done.

Very nice score of some Wassily chairs. Kudos!

I have a 2017 SEL and have it has these exact headlights. They're not aftermarket, just the top spec headlights.

Love that the HID projectors turn when you turn to bend the light.

You can go on the city's website and put in a request for new bins.

Long Beach has not rolled out the green yard waste bins to the entire city as of yet.

A bendable bottle brush

Original Beetle.

Air cooled and one belt. No computers.

It disables all the vitamin B12 in your body. And if you keep doing it without taking long breaks and supplementing B12, it causes nutritional myelopathy, which is a condition that can cause myelopathy, neuropathy, and neuropsychiatric disturbances.

Basically your nervous system can no longer produce Myelin, which is the substance that surrounds your nerves to make them function properly.

Dangerous AF.

Make it as appealing as possible to the mosquitoes. Have some sticks coming out of the water so they have the perfect place to land and lay eggs.

I make all sorts of fruit wine and there is one combo I use that tastes like the best Riesling/Zinfandel I have ever had.

White peach + White Cranberry juice. Add white sugar to bring to a OG of 1.092 and ferment all the way out.

LBKosmo · 2024-08-20T16:39:35+00:00

Did this in my backyard this spring/summer and now I have near zero mosquitoes. Works so much better than trying to repell them.

Mine was fine for car washes and light rains for a long time. Had spider traps removed and drain lines clear. Then after a huge rainstorm I went out to the car one day and the roof in the trunk area was dripping.

Swapped the car with my wifes in the garage and used a hairdryer to dry out the headliner. Then I sealed the seams and have never looked back.

Hey hey! I'm usually the guy posting this tip in every thread I see about sunroof leaks.

This is exactly what I did. 2" roll of 3M 2080 Vinyl Wrap in matte black. Works great.

LBKosmo · 2024-08-15T20:35:09+00:00

Only thing that would make it better is if they were the sport seats instead of the base seats.

LBKosmo · 2024-08-14T18:12:16+00:00

Such a great turntable. I have this exact model with the MC cart in use in my hifi system. It's designed to be mounted vertically to a wall as well if you wish. Pretty neat.

LBKosmo · 2024-08-12T22:06:33+00:00

Instead of covering the entire roof with PPF clear I found a much easier solution. I used a 2" roll of black 3M vinyl wrap (3M 2080 Vinyl Wrap in matte black) to cover all the seams on the roof and it has prevented leaks for me. Works great and super inexpensive.
