    Not that a did any mini stuff. Had a talk with my son about the Helmet. He needs a truck and said it’s kind of hard to maintain the Helmet at his apartment. So he is talking about fixing some small items and putting it up for sale. The short of it is I may just buy it back.

    Well I got a call from my son today. A tractor trailer pushed him off the road. He said the guy in the truck was looking at him in the mirror. He scraped the fencing on the interstate. He said he has to hold the steering wheel to the right about 10 degrees to go straight. That’s not muck but something may be bent. It could have been worse. The damage does not look too bad.

    After seeing your photos I looked up the Leap diffuser and watched a Tweedbean video of him installing one. They look very sharp….pricey…but sharp nonetheless.

    Hope the dealership provides you with a first class experience for all your troubles after getting off to a rocky start.

    Coolerworx shifter, from what I have read, would make missing a shift a distant memory but you have to carve up your console and they are a bit on the ugly side. The splitter would go nicely with the diffuser.

    Good news !! Now you can move that red Italian car out of the garage to make a spot for Helmet and since your watch cat is familiar with that car there won’t be any problems. :D:D

    Bummer that your dealership experience didn’t improve from its shaky start. Good luck on correcting your radio problems.

    Wowzer !! Heck of a tab when you were timely and they weren’t….and dealers like that wonder why people do not want to do repeat business with them.

    What is wrong with you? Why did you post that? Are you trying to get me in trouble?
    I’m getting the Helmet back, a man can only over come so much temptation!

    Where is the best place to get replacement foam for this speaker ;-)

    It's needed replacement for a while, but I was intimidated about removing the inner door panel. Turned out to be not very hard to do, It just made bad noises while popping off the plastic clips.

    Were you able to look into the problem any further ?? Will the elongated mounting holes be a concern once you find the root cause of the initial problem ??

    Hope it’s not to much faster or your wallet will be even lighter.
