Looks like, at the minimum, I'll have Chrome/Silver bulbs for the headlights to install and a MY 04 Horn install. The horn install on the 01 requires pulling the front bumper. Don't anticipate anything else showing up between now and then.....but, there's still time .

Yes... But don't know if it will work on glass. Should. Since I have the plastic window, I have to use the "Static Cling" tint. We can try there should be plenty left over.
I had no idea the tint material could be had for about $6 per window. So I went ahead and got a roll from Wally-World and applied it to the side windows last weekend. The label said "better" and was rated at "35%" tint. Took the interior door panels off to to get better access to the entire window. There's some minor imperfections that I know of, but were not noticed by a couple people who looked closely. Guess I'll leave it on.

Picked up my Mobil 1 Synthetic 75w-90 Gear lube today, and ordered my tranny and diff fill and drain washers. Once those come in, I'll pick up some Honda MTF and some Honda DOT 3 while I'm there. I can't wait

Don't forget to order your hardtop strikers from HardTopGuy this weekend or Monday so they're here by install day.
Unfortunately, our Rick's Billet Pulley's won't be here by install day, but hey, a reason to have another install day in May

Yup... We don't have a shipping date yet on these. From what I've read... we have 4 weeks before shipping. I want to get these installed before the spring run if possible.
