Holy Crap, I can't believe the dealer is gonna charge $200 for a 15 min job, good lawd. As mentioned, super easy to do, and you seem to be on the right path already(as for NAM). It is just a matter of popping a few clips, nothing crazy. http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/how-to/183308-interior-exterior-mirror-cap-removal-replacement-r55-r56.html

Welcome! Dave, at California Tint took great care of me, at a super price. Hope to see you out at some events!

Mine came off during my test drive. . .stayed on for about 2 weeks, came off. . .back on for about a week, said screw it. It's in the glovebox now.

Welcome! The mod bug is hard to kill! What do you have in mind for your MINI?

Sorry I can't really offer anything "New" for advise, but I echo this statement. I couldn't believe the ride quality after switching from RF's. Not only I, but My better half was SO thrilled. As for any performance loss in cornering/handling, it was minuscule and hardly noticeable for daily driving. What was gained in comfort, certainly outweighed any in daily comfort. Springs will also improve not only the handling, but ride quality as well. Just my little $.02.

The cruise in sounds fun, any other MINIacks going? I remember shortly after I moved here, there was a meet up at a Chic'fil'a (off willard road?)but was all honda kids, and a crap load of hondas/nissans/chevys/and Scions(toyotas)and maybe 3 notable cars. Wasn't worth the mean muggin' just going around the parking lot. I, for one, am just glad I don't have to deal with the 4th this year. I plan on laying low, having a few Guinness, throwing a few birds on the grill, and keeping it low key. Will be the first 4th in 3 years I am not doing the roof top event at 12th and F for 3thousand people. I can watch those same National Mall Fireworks from the comfort of the mancave, and NOT have a 3 hour commute home!

PERFECT! I should be over the hump, and be able to scoot out to the street, or where ever I need to meet ya after 12'ish. Let me know if you want lunch, happy to hook up the DCMM Prez with some delicious food, lol!

I will be happy to take them off your hands. I will be in NW(18th and Penn)all day tomorrow.

:top:

any dedicated route updates? DCMM meet up and convoy to MD?

for real, don't get turned off. It's like any party: If 50 RSVP yes, still only count on 30% showing. . .3 people RSVPing, well, you see how the odds are. Hell, breakfast sounds like it was good!

EDIT: Forgot I was shooting the Sully Park Model A Antique car show. . .will be there for some OLD school stuff/

lol, fantastic!

Was great to see everyone, and really enjoyed dinner!

Looking forward to dinner tomorrow!

that is a VAST improvement over OEM! What a sad little sliver of an IC.

Ohhhhhhhanyone who has had Bon Chon knows what I am talking about!:top:

As a Chef, and having lived in the Pacific Islands, I can help with any questions/concerns too. There isn't anything scary on the menu. Oh, and Korean fried Chicken, when done right, is beyond heavenly.

Hey all, just seeking advise/suggestions for a horn replacement. I noticed on the Memorial Day run the wide array of horns, and realized I need to get rid of my wimpy factory horn! Any suggestions? Something with some gusto!

It's a bit pricey, and I bet you can't eat just one of em.

Just ordered my Light-N-sight! How had I never seen those before??!

I NEED to get the mounting harware for the ALTA Cat Back exhaut. . .it will sound a LOT better on MINI than just sitting in the garage:frown:. Though, I have been thinking about the one ball mod, and changing the tips. I dunno.

Welcome to the MINI fam!! Congrats!

I would have to go with the 15% pulley.
