Looks neat. Can you link to these? Or at least, what are they called.

Washed it, and went after some paint scratches with Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0. Some of the lighter scratches are gone, and the deeper ones are less noticeable. It's the first time I've tried this stuff. I might give it another shot later to see if more applications help with the deep scratches.

Showed a little love to the wheels. Should make them easier to clean as well. I didn’t have my tire shine handy so I’ll have to hit them tomorrow before they go back on the car

Installed sync 3.3 in my 300a car and enabled drive modes.
What a difference with the a10 trans!

Its actually a lot easier than the post on here. With the 2019's there's no harness needed. I contacted Hextall and they sent a bezel, screen with APIM and a bluetooth OBD2 plug in.
They programmed the APIM and once I installed everything they did a remote session and used FORScan to enable the drive modes and fix a couple of things.
My install took about 30-40 min and the remote session took about 30 min total.

for all those wondering I am sending the Torque Converter back to FTI even though UPS told me to keep it & FTC rules state I have the right to since it was addressed to me.

So today, it was time to install some new arrivals. First, was the new torque initiator. Instantly added close to 400 lb-ft of torque.

As an added bonus, it's been nano-ceramic coated for extra slipperyness. Install difficulty level of 1 :beer: out of 6. Pretty much a one man job.

Next, I stepped it up a notch and added some nitrogen retainers.

The difficulty level on this up to :beer::beer:out of 6. If x = no. of nitrogen retainers, and y = no. of times around the car exchanging retainers so that the all line up properly and z = no. times past the beer fridge, you cab see how the difficulty level can increase exponentially. As you can see in the picture, this was mid installation, as the logo is not quite right (and pay NO attention to the dirty wheels).

And finally, upgraded the moisture suspension system.

Unfortunately, this where things took a dark turn. SOMEONE, ordered the properly logo'd suspension system, not realising that due to on-going trade wars, tariffs and overall miscommunication with foreign assets, that the parts come as individual pieces, not as a set. So the matching rear moisture suspension bushing was ordered, along with a set of "Mustang" bushings. Overall a 1 :beer:out of 6, but quickly rose to :beer::beer:due to frustration of miscommunication.

Car guy card is safe, as I did all of the wrenching myself.:cwl: Time for another trip paat the beer fridge (tbh, most of the trips were due to self induced plumbing issues that began last night and are not quite resolved yet, but at least now everyone can pee and shower).

What are the odds UPS will actually deliver it to FTI?

Edit: when I posted that I was thinking UPS had mis-delivered it to @gameovergt and was questioning UPS' reliability to return it. Was NOT implying he wouldn't ship it back.

that's not on me. I am putting it outside my door for UPS to pick up. Where it goes after that no one knows but the UPS driver & I have the tracking # as does FTI so they can monitor where it is.
