I just say Tinted Windows.

lol

ah ok, I got a quote today that the bottom element is around $90?! is that right?

 

btw, where did you guys order your hog rings and hog ring pliers?

 

Thanks

 

yes it's close to $90 i got mine from fred beans, one of the sponsors here, also I borrowed the hog ring pliers and the hog rings from a mechanic friend of mine, they are pretty common place at any dealership.

Got this done today, total time was about an hour and a half from start to finish. I followed the steps exactly until it got to the part about removing the seat cushion. After i got the first 6 hog rings out I just pull the old element out and slid the new one in. This saved a bunch of time, I definitely would not attempt this without that specialty tool. Not really as hard as it looks, pretty straight forward, and be careful when your taking your seat in and out of the car, i put a nick in my vynil and a scratch in my window. but at least my butt is warm!

Got the element from FredBeans today Gonna attempt the install on saturday i'll let you know if it's really as bad as it looks.

Anyone have a OBP LGT that works on Route 9 in Wappingers? I saw it parked there this morning on my way home, going north it is on the right hand side.

No one ever spots me

anyone know where the cheapest place to find the seat heater element? p/n 64111AG14A

OBP LGT on route 9 soutbound around 4:12pm in wappingers

i still wonder if the hog rings apply to leather

i wonder if the hog rings apply to leather seats as well

I see lots of LGT's but none of them are on here

I only have one thing to say about all of these shenanigans. Proof of ownership or it never happened.

OBP LGT in Hudson Valley Mall parking lot, Best buy entrance.

should i even bother saying i spotted a black LGT today behind me in Kingston NY ? i think i'm the only one on here from my town. lol

Ughhhhhhhh I know.

 

Not sure how much this matters... but I'm using 93 octane fuel here in northern Virginia which also is 10% ethanol. Blah.

 

same cept in NY

dang thats really low gas mileage, even when i drive "aggressive" i get 21+

 

Hmm...just measured my first full tank of gas or so.

 

However, my driving is about 90% just to the grocery store which is a 2mile trip or so.

 

I averaged 16mpg.... yuck. This was based on resetting the trip meter at the last fill up, and then dividing miles driven / amount of gallons in next fillup. I'm sure the nature of the trips hurts it...but this is just terrible.

 

31k miles on the car, all maintenance done properly.

 

That's pretty terrible for a 2.5L car - turbo or not. Even my old grand prix which weighed 400lbs more and had a 3.8L engine did closer to 20mpg. My buyer's remorse for not going with a G35 is only increasing :/

i was getting 27mpg on my 2005 LGT limited until i got stuck in a traffic jam then it was ranging in the 26's the rest of the way. i get 22-24 around the city depending on how heavy my foot is lol.
