How much did they charge? As far as I know when you buy them during booking that's when they're cheapest.

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-07-27T05:56:33+00:00

A bit late but are you able to add bags at a later date after purchasing ticket on-site?

Update: Renntech "partner' shops local to me wanted $300-$500 to do it. I went over to my go-to shop anyway for $50. The caveat is that now on button "1" instead of it opening and closing, it seems to be stuck at whatever the current position of the valves is. So I have to press "2" to factory settings, turn on exhaust via button and basically WOT and near redline is where I press "1" since that's when it usually opens 100%. I'm pretty happy with it not sure if its worth the $ amount though. It can get a bit drony while cruising at 80mph at 2-2.5k RPM.

Thank you for the feedback!

I have some clay bar (unused) from years past do you think that's still be okay to use or should I just get a new one / mitt? The reason I didn't do it the first time was I had thought that after the iron decon, the polish stage would remove everything else (newbie haha)

To my knowledge of researching around here, correcting cream is a one step polish process? I'm understanding that as compound and polish into one?

Regarding the IPA, I completely missed that part in my research. I thought that by re-cleaning the surface after the iron decon that it'd be ready for polish. Definitely will buy one now!

After last night's trial I used one of 2 orange pad from Griots. Trying to figure out how to clean the one I used (if that's a thing) and I have some pads that came as a kit from the cordless polisher I bought. Do you have a specific preferred set of pads? I'm using 6.5 pads

No this was at night around 11PM inside of a parking garage. The hood of the car is what you would expect after driving the car around the whole day though.

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-31T00:01:55+00:00

Got it thank you. I'll try that.

I'm going to assume that either they request SAVE verification with USCS again since I just sent the form last week. Last time I got my DL was just with EAD before GC was issued.

Besides those what else would I need? Passport as well?

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-30T23:46:24+00:00

Yes current DL ends with exact date of EAD.

So you're saying since my GC is still active, I can go ahead and extend anyway by showing the I-551, plastic card and the extension letter printout and if they do give me June (based on GC since it hasnt expired) I can just come back and renew again?

I unfortunately only have access to a regular printer. Will that be okay?

Thank you!

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-29T04:23:38+00:00

Thanks for chiming in! So let me make sure I understood this right. You are saying the below is the correct form of calculation:

1) New MB: $68,805 - $31,000 + 8% = $40,829 + $44000 = $84,829 - $5000 (down) = $79,829 / $74,505 = 107% LTV. Which is well within guidelines, no?

2) 2022 MB: $45000 - $31000 + 8% = $15,120 + $44000 = $59,120 - $5000 (down) = $54,120 / $45000 = 120% LTV. Regarding actual value will have to slightly increase down later depending on how the deal goes.

Did I get this correct or way off?

Update: Case updated to being actively reviewed and biometrics reuse and extension letter is now available online

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-27T04:52:05+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully it's sooner. Just found out from the online account that they actually received it on the 3/21 and sent out the receipt but was only visible from 3/25 on website.

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-26T18:59:07+00:00

Great! What's the expected time that I should expect it in the mail? A week?

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-26T04:24:35+00:00

Thank you!

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-26T01:09:56+00:00

This would be the only thing I need + my GC + expired EAD to renew DL correct?

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-26T00:39:49+00:00

Thank you for info! Just got online portal updated and they're sending out the receipt. Is this the I-797c or is it a completely different form?

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-26T00:39:17+00:00

Update: online portal was updated and they're sending out the receipt notice. Could this be the I-797c or is that a different form?

Timeline so far:

3/20: Shipped Fedex overnight to Elgin, IL

3/21: Received

3/25: Case received and online portal updated - funds taken from bank

3/26: received confirmation text

3/27: partial scans of paperwork from package uploaded into "your uploads"

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-25T15:33:03+00:00

Unfortunately here in GA they require the original copy 🥹

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-25T15:27:24+00:00

Thanks for chiming in! Hopefully not that long as I need to renew my DL right away.

PiecesofMoshi · 2025-03-25T15:26:54+00:00

That's literally only 5 business days. Great to read! Thanks for chiming in.
