  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Do they match the carpet in their “wornness”? If so, I’d leave them be.

    Jason you have to watch painting everything they will end up standing out and the interior won’t look original anymore. If they are that worn maybe you should look for some better originals for some reason the black original plastic Seat backs do not disintegrate like the white ones and lighter colors do.

    Took 508 to go get my hair cut. Another successful 50 mile round trip. Nothing broke, fell off or puked.

    Left it in the lot with the rest of the appliances:D

    Car is dry as a bone underneath too. Runs really well.

    So odd that it looks so small compared to that "mid sized" SUV next to it.

    Is she holding you ransom for your "haircut records"? This has been a great thread and you're doing a great job returning GSX #508 to its former glory and driving it like it should be.
