    took off and cleaned the EGR valve with seafoam deep creep and WD-40 for the second time...if the CEL comes on AGAIN i guess i will have to bring it in at some point :(
    when i put vacuum to it, i can see the valve open and close, i dont know what could be causing it to be" stuck open/excessive flow"

    Today I was looking around on here and found something about steel wool helping with the color of your fender flares, so I tried it. I picked up some 0000 grit steel wool and went to work. Turned out pretty good just took some time and you have to scrub hard.

    I like that a lot. Did you do the map lights as well? I know it is brighter than stock but how much brighter and where did you pick them up from?

    Look at build!
    :eek: I paid 320 for my rack and the outer tierods combined and did install myself and alignment so that may be where i saved so much compared? Was 800 just for rack, or install too?

    That's really cheap. I called yesterday and the stealership quoted me 600 just for the rack.

    I have heard of them MTgirl but never really looked into them. I will now cuz 600 bucks for that plus the instale of my next mod will break my bank. Oh and you are the best. I couldn't figure out what else I read about that helps with the flares and it was the eraser, I will be trying it tomorrow.

    I haven't dealt with rockauto personally but I know a few people that have and a lot of members here have as well...they seem to be a good parts dealer.

    do try the erasers...they work great! just takes a little elbow grease and wash and rinse like normal.
