Was in Vancouver last week, and of course we took the opportunity to drive over the border to our shipping depot in Blaine. Picked up the charger, and Greyhounded it back. Nice. Can't wait to get it on the car. The bespoke components are top notch, very nicely made.

Also got an SOS single, 60mm gauge pod, into which a PLX Devices multi gauge setup will go. For now, I've got a wideband O2 sensor and a boost module. Not sure if I will add anything more, but the PLX definitely has the capability to add more, you just keep daisy-chaining the sensor modules together.

And picked up a second hand AP2 centre console. Going to wrap the silver bits with carbon look vinyl.

Very exciting day yesterday, actually, as not only did the Greyhound delivery come in, but so did my 5.4L engine for my swap plan in my AMG. See this link for more on that:

Pix of the charger components, and a forlorn photo of the car on my patio...

Heh, I bought a couple rolls of carbon vinyl. Did you get yours in town? I got mine from a guy in the US, but then I saw piles of it in a couple accessory shops in Richmond. Did you disassemble the centre console before applying the vinyl? I've got a heat gun too - must have for hockey sticks! I lent it to my cousin a couple years back so he could put up the plastic stuff on his windows, and then forgot it about it. When I went over a few months later, he said he was using it as a hair dryer! Doh!

haha nice. I borrowed the heat gun from my cousin and he never asked for it back so i'm keeping it for now.
yes you need to take out all the pieces to do a proper job. it took me probably 2 hours to wrap the sliding door and the hazard/top down piece.
