Another forum I am on does this, its great for the little nothings not worthy of a new thread. Its a confidence booster for your WK to let it know even the little things are important... oil change, de-badging, painting bits and pieces, repairs, the fact that you finally got to drive it...

Ill start:

- considering I made all of 2.1 hrs for the 6.5 hrs I was at work, I pulled the grand in, pulled the front end off and rerouted my HID relay harnesses for my fogs and headlamps. When I initially installed them I was slamming them in with no time to worry about wire routing or ballast mounting.
-Checked all my fluids to make sure all was still good considering the open heart surgery done to her a couple months back, all checked out good other than what looks like a slight coolant leak from my radiator end tank.
-dusted her exterior and shined the tires (she got a bath last night but it sprinkled on the way home)
-Installed a steel skid plate!
-Saturday I pulled off my steering wheel to resolve my squeeking clockspring and clicking turn signal cancelor cam, In a moment of NON-thinking I spritzed the clockspring with some spray lube, good news... it is quiet... bad news, I had a "check electric brake system" message in the evic and the traction control light on following. Quickly hooking up the witech I found I had an "internal scm failure". 2 days of driving later it went off and hasnt come back (phew)

Had an awesome day today. Alex came down to help me out and we got a good amount of stuff done. Thanks again man. Now all I gotta do is remove the starter, a/c compressor, and disconnect fan shroud lines and the engine will be ready to be pulled.

Yes hero 2. Got it off eBay 2 years ago for real cheap. Woman didn't know what she was selling paid like 120 for it with the lcd screen and shipping. I love it.

The 08+ is deffinatley the way to go even though I feel like the 05 front bumper is mounted more securely then the 08 front bumper.

05 had rivets below the grille holding it on while the 08 just fits in some slots.

Yea I had to get the whole front end because I had 05 like you. I needed the 08 absorber it was like 250 from dealer, then needed headlights, supports, mounting hardware, brake cooling ducts, lower grille, lower mount a whole shit ton of parts.

And after spending all that money I ripped it off over a tree stump in my yard backing up at it needs to be repainted fml.
